In Saltcoats North East, 19 residents died after contracting coronavirus, which is the second highest number of fatalities  in North Ayrshire.  

There have been no deaths in the Fairlie and Rural neighbourhood relating to COVID-19 according to the National Records of Scotland data. 

Councillor Marie Burns said sadly many people died in the Fullarton Care Home in the town – which caused the high death rate in the Irvine Fullarton area. 

The SNP group leader said: “When we hear these figures we have to remember every one is an individual with families and friends. Every single death has an impact on the community. I pass on my thoughts to all the families concerned. 

“It is important not to get complacent with the vaccine becoming available and to continue to follow the lockdown rules.”
