Harrogate District Hospital has removed its coronavirus pods from the front of the building after half a year.
The hospital removed the assesment pods today and said they have not been necessary for several months.
A spokesperson said that they have been prominent but added that the hospital has been able to care for patients inside for a while now.
“Thank you to all colleagues involved in setting them up, and ensuring they’ve been safely removed.”

It also comes a month and a week after a coronavirus patient last died at the hospital. The fact that the hospital has now removed the pods is a visual sign that the hospital is moving in the right direction.
The hospital reported its first covid-19 death on March 20 and the most recent – the 82nd – on July 19. That patient died four days earlier on July 15.
