The data shows that Eastbourne has the highest weekly coronavirus rate in the county with 630.4 new cases per 100,000 population, while Horsham has the lowest rate with 240.6 new cases per 100,000 population.

But the rate in all local authority areas in the county has decreased in the most recent week of figures.

Here are the latest weekly coronavirus rates in all Sussex local authority areas, compared to the rates recorded the previous week.

From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 22; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 22; rate of new cases in the seven days to January 15; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to January 15:

• Eastbourne, 630.4, (654), 894.5, (928)
• Crawley, 559.6, (629), 738.4, (830)
• Arun, 410.6, (660), 597.8, (961)
• Hastings, 388.5, (360), 523.4, (485)
• Worthing, 385.3, (426), 614.1, (679)
• Adur, 377.9, (243), 486.8, (313)

An interactive map produced by the government using Public Health England data shows the progress made in driving the weekly coronavirus rate down in Middle Super Output Areas (MSOA) across Sussex.

MSOA represent a geographic hierarchy designed to improve the reporting of small area statistics in England and Wales, with each area having a minimum population of 5,000 and a maximum population of 7,200.

Darker colours represent a higher coronavirusu rate, with areas shaded in deep purple having a weekly coronavirus rate of more than 800 new cases per 100,000 population.

A lighter purple signifies an area has a rate of more than 400 new weekly cases per 100,000 population, dark blue is between 200 and 399, light blue is between 100 and 199, and green is between 50-99.

The map on the left, showing the figures in Sussex for the week leading up to January 7, is dominated by high coronavirus rates shaded in purple.

Whereas the map showing the most recent complete figures, from the week leading up to January 21, has far more blue, particularly in central Brighton and areas of Mid Sussex.

The MSOA with the highest coronavirus rate in Sussex in the week leading up to January 7 was Upperton, in Eastbourne, with 1,475.9 new cases per 100,000 population.

The highest figure in Brighton and Hove was recorded in Patcham East with 1,133.2 new cases per 100,000 population.

In the figures for the week leading up to January 21, the MSOA with the highest coronavirus rate in Sussex was Eastbourne Pier with 1,084.4 new cases per 100,000 population.

The highest figure in Brighton and Hove was recorded in Whitehawk, with 578 new cases per 100,000 population.

Here is a full list of weekly coronavirus rates for all local auhtorities across the UK.
