HEALTH officials have refused to identify the links between Brighton's confirmed cases of coronavirus.
All of the cases in the city are linked to Hove super-spreader Steve Walsh.
Public Health England Medical Director, Yvonne Doyle said: “As a result of our contact tracing we now know the new cases announced today are all closely linked to one another.
"Our priority has been to speak to those who have close and sustained contact with confirmed cases, so we can advise them on what they can do to limit the spread of the virus.
“Two of these new cases are healthcare workers and as soon as they were identified, we advised them to self-isolate in order to keep patient contact to a minimum. "
We are now working urgently to identify all patients and other healthcare workers who may have come into close contact, and at this stage we believe this to be a relatively small number.
“We would like thank all those who have followed public health advice and have taken the necessary steps to reduce the risk to the general public.”
