The Harrogate district has reported a further 149 covid cases, according to today’s government figures.

The district’s covid rate has risen to 534 infections per 100,000 people, which is the second highest in North Yorkshire.

Across the county, the average stands at 497 and the England rate is 389.

No further deaths from patients who tested positive for coronavirus have been recorded at Harrogate District Hospital, according to NHS England figures.

Since March 2020, 197 people have died with covid at the hospital.

Meanwhile, the number of covid patients at Harrogate District Hospital remains stable with 22 currently receiving treatment – a slight fall from 25 this time last week.

The news comes as it was revealed that hundreds of Harrogate District Hospital staff have yet to be vaccinated against covid.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid last week announced he expected to set a deadline for all unvaccinated workers to get both jabs by the beginning of April in a move which he said would help protect patients and the NHS as a whole.
