The Harrogate district’s seven-day covid rate has passed the 400 mark for the first time as infection rates continue to rocket.

The average now stands at 460 people per 100,000 and is the third highest in North Yorkshire.

The rate is now nearly six times higher than it was four weeks ago when the figure stood at just 79.

North Yorkshire’s average is 444 while the national rate is 636.

Public health bosses in North Yorkshire warned this week that case rates were likely to worsen in the coming weeks.

A further 120 infections were confirmed today in the district by Public Health England.

The figure takes the total cases since the start of the pandemic up to 5,160.

Meanwhile, the vaccination centre at the Great Yorkshire Showground reopened today.

Residents raised concerns about a lack of information on the centre earlier this week when it appeared to have been closed for most days over the Christmas period.
