AN INTERACTIVE map shows how many people have died with Covid in your area.

This shows allows you to see the number of deaths registered in the period March to December 2020, where Covid was the underlying (main) cause on the death certificate.

As local data is only available up to December, the numbers of deaths in the map will not reflect the latest trends.

Enter your postcode to see the number of deaths in your area. The size of the circle represents the number of deaths.

The map comes as the number of coronavirus deaths passed 300 at Brighton and Sussex Trust.

NHS England figures show 306 people had died in hospital at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust as of 5pm on Monday.

That was an increase of eight compared to Sunday, when there were 298.

It means there have been 30 deaths in the past week, down from 34 the previous week.

The deaths were among 7,896 recorded across the South East.

Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.

This means some of the deaths that were first recorded in the latest period may actually have taken place days earlier.

NHS England guidance states: "Confirmation of Covid diagnosis, death notification and reporting in central figures can take up to several days and the hospitals providing the data are under significant operational pressure."

Only deaths that occur in hospitals where the patient has tested positive for Covid are recorded, with deaths in the community excluded, such as those in care homes.
