AN INTERACTIVE map has revealed the weekly coronavirus rates in all areas of Brighton and Hove.

The map uses data from Public Health England, and breaks the city down into Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs).

These are areas with an average population of 7,200.

The highest weekly coronavirus rate was reported in Hollingbury where there were 68 cases reported in the seven days leading up to December 10, giving it a weekly coronavirus rate of 1,042.0 cases per 100,000 population.

The Argus:

In data released earlier this month (for the week leading up to December 2) Hollingbury had a case rate of 919.7.

In the most recent figures, the area of the city with the second highest weekly coronavirus rate was Bevendean and Moulsecoomb East, which recorded 69 cases in seven days.

This gave it a seven-day rolling rate of 866 cases per 100,000 population.

But, while these two areas on the outskirts of Brighton and Hove recorded the highest figures, some city centre areas recorded some of the lowest.

St James's Street and Queen's Park had the least confirmed cases in the week leading up to December 10, with 38 positive tests giving it a rate of 392.2 cases per 100,000 population.

North Laine and the Lanes and Kemp Town also all had rates of less than 500 cases per 100,000 population.

Overall, in Brighton and Hove there were 1,891 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the seven day leading up to December 9, giving the city a weekly rate of 648.2 cases per 100,000 population.
