One major factor could be down to both locations being predominantly rural areas. Burton Bradstock and Chideock covers a large area, which includes parishes and villages such as Eype, Melplash, Netherbury, Nettlecombe while Yetminster, Bradford Abbas and Longburton include the villages of Sandford Orcas, Nether Compton, Mudford, Holnest and Holwell. Yetminster, Bradford Abbas and Longburton area has reported no coronavirus cases according to latest figures. Both areas cover large land and a number of parishes, meaning the spread of Covid-19 around these areas is less than in a more enclosed urban area. West Dorset has reported low numbers of Covid-19 cases throughout the pandemic whereas North Dorset has reported varying levels of coronavirus cases.
