Google data reveals how Sussex locked-down and readers give their opinion on the Government’s strategy.

1. Number of deaths by Sussex health trusts

Trusts are the organisations which run hospitals and the NHS publishes each of their death tolls daily.

There is a delay between when deaths occur and when they are registered and the figures for any given day could still increase.

The figures do not include care homes.

Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust operates hospitals supporting the Crawley and Horsham areas, as well as parts of East Sussex.

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust operates hospitals in Eastbourne, Bexhill, Rye and St Leonards.

Brighton and Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust runs the Royal Sussex County Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.

Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust runs sites in Chichester, Worthing and Shoreham.

The Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust provides care across the area.

2. Number of cases by authority

The number of confirmed cases, as reported by Public Health England, is broken down by top tier authority.

There are three in Sussex, West Sussex County Council, East Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council.

Brighton begins ahead on this graph due to the cases associated with a “super-spreader” in February.

It is important to note that the February cluster was contained as each person infected was successfully tracked, traced and tested by PHE and fully recovered in isolation.

This chart the number of cases by authorities.

3. Workplaces

Google is using location data gathered from phones to help public health officials understand how people’s movements have changed in response to the global coronavirus pandemic.

The reports use data from people who have opted in to storing their location history with Google to help illustrate the degree to which people are adhering to government instructions to shelter in place and, where possible, work from home.
