Patcham care home on the outskirts of Brighton has confirmed it has reopened after it was closed following the discovery that a care worker diagnosed with the virus had visited it.
A spokesman said: “We are pleased that the home is now reopened to visitors. Thanks must go to Public Health England for its support and advice over the last few days, to all the families and visitors who have been patient and understanding, to our staff who have been superb, and last, but not least, to our residents who have been good-natured and uncomplaining throughout.”
Pupils and staff at at least nine schools in Brighton, Hove and Eastbourne are self-isolating as a precaution after recent cases of coronavirus were diagnosed in the area.
Parents in Sussex have been told by Public Health England (PHE) that either a staff member or student has been advised to stay home from the schools for 14 days, the Press Association has reported.
