A second GP surgery has been closed in Brighton in connection with Coronavirus

The number of confirmed cases in the UK remains at eight

A second GP surgery branch in Brighton has been shut following the outbreak of coronavirus in the East Sussex city.

The County Oak Medical Centre on Monday closed "because of an urgent operational health and safety reason", following reports a member of staff there was one of those infected.

On Tuesday morning it emerged that a second branch of the surgery - located less than two miles away - has also been closed.

A sign fixed to the door of the Deneway branch says: "The surgery is closed due to organisational health and safety reasons.

"Please contact 111 if you need to speak to a health professional."
