A Lichfield councillor has urged people to continue taking precautions after figures revealed the number of coronavirus deaths across the region.

[More than a quarter of people who died in Lichfield and Burntwood](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2020/06/13/figures-reveal-more-than-a-third-of-lichfield-and-burntwood-deaths-in-three-month-period-were-due-to-coronavirus/) between March and May had COVID-19.

Cllr Joanne Grange, independent representative for Curborough ward on Lichfield District Council, said the figures were “worrying”.

> “Deaths due to COVID-19 in the areas covering Curborough per 100,000 of the population are 154.  
>  
> “These are the highest in the district – the UK as a whole has a figure of 62 per 100,000 people.  
>  
> “These are worrying statistics.”  
>  
> Cllr Joanne Grange

Although lockdown is now being eased with non-essential shops set to reopen from today (15th June), Cllr Grange said people still needed to take care.

> “Please remember social distancing and hand washing.”
