The Harrogate district has recorded a further 71 coronavirus cases today.

This is lower than yesterday's number but means the total number of cases in the district since last March stands at 8,773, according to Public Health England.

However the district's case rate is on the rise. Today's seven day infection rate is now at 275.4 per 100,000, which is higher than the England rate of 235.3 per 100,000.

Across North Yorkshire the rate is 235.7 per 100,000.
