The latest coronavirus figures make for optimistic reading for people in Brighton and Hove.

The city has gone from recording more than 2,200 new cases in the week leading up to January 8 to just 94 new cases in the latest complete figures, taken from the seven days leading up to March 5.

This means the Brighton and Hove weekly coronavirus rate has plummeted from 771 new cases per 100,000 residents to 32.3 in less than two months.

Within the city, Public Health England has released further data which details where these remaining coronavirus cases have been identified.

Brighton and Hove is broken down into Middle Super Output Areas (MSOA) - a geographic hierarchy system designed to improve the reporting of small area statistics, with each area having a minimum population of 5,000 and a maximum population of 7,200, and are updated daily.

In areas where less than three new weekly coronavirus cases have been reported, data has been "suppressed" to "protect individuals' identities".
