In the seven days up to the day before lockdown started on Thursday, November 5, there was 364 confirmed new Covid-19 cases in Brighton & Hove (based on data published on Tuesday, November 10), which is equivalent to a weekly rate of 125 new cases per 100,000 residents.
This is lower than the rate for England as a whole at 237 per 100,000 during the same period.However, Alistair Hill, Director of Public Health in Brighton & Hove, warns it is too early to predict a sustained downward trend from these numbers.
