There have been no coronavirus related deaths in Lincolnshire's hospitals reported for the fourth day in a row.

The last 24 hours includes official records for hospitals across the wider Greater Lincolnshire area (Lincolnshire, North and North East Lincolnshire).

Nationally, however, a further 121 people who tested positive for coronavirus in hospitals in England have died, bringing the total to 25,387, and the national death toll across all settings to 36,393.

The government's number of local confirmed cases for today has not yet been released, however has, over the past week, remained largely below the five a day mark – only jumping by 18 on Wednesday as the government's figures caught up – a total of 23 so far.

There is a caveat. Many health experts do believe numbers are higher, that some cases of COVID-19 have gone undetected and that the numbers will rise once registered deaths in the community and at home are finalised once this is over.

In total, Lincolnshire has had one of the lowest infection rates in the England.  Prior to today's case numbers being released, it had a total of 1,063 cases – an infection rate of 140.6 per 100,000 of the population.

It's the 14th lowest figure and well below the England national rate of 262.0.

Neighbouring authority area North East Lincolnshire is second lowest, with just 148 cases and an infection rate of 92.6.

Meanwhile, North Lincolnshire sits 90th lowest rate of infection with 495 total cases, a rate of 287.8.

Digging deeper, the Lincolnshire's districts are as follows with infection rate per 100,000 in brackets:

Some additional key facts:

The virus still has no vaccine

The details of immunity still aren't known

Many experts fear a second wave if people become too lackadaisical over restrictions

Many businesses and facilities are still closed

Many will want to take trips to some of the country's beauty spots this weekend in light of the improving situation.

But council leaders are still calling for balance and common sense. If you decide to travel, make sure you know the risks and what's available.

East Lindsey District Council has even gone to lengths of telling visitors they're not welcome.

We're over the peak, but there's still danger ahead if we falter along the way, they warn.
