Coronavirus lockdown: Where have people died in Brighton?

In a televised address, the Prime Minster told the public they would only be allowed to leave their homes for limited reasons, including food shopping, exercise once per day, medical need and travelling for work “when absolutely necessary”.

All shops selling non-essential goods were told to close, gatherings of more than two people in public were banned, events including weddings were cancelled.
