    The Harrogate district has recorded its highest daily number of coronavirus infections since the start of the pandemic with 101 positive tests.

    It takes the total number of cases since March up to 4,412.

    The number surpasses the previous daily high of 95, which was reported on November 9 shortly after the second lockdown began.

    It comes as North Yorkshire was placed in tier three yesterday amid fears of surging covid cases.

    In further bad news, another coronavirus death has been reported at Harrogate District Hospital.

    It takes the total number of deaths at the hospital from patients who tested positive for coronavirus to 107.

    Meanwhile, the seven-day rate of infection in the district has increased to 141 per 100,000 people, but remains the lowest in the county.

    The county average is 207 and the England average is 414.

    Yesterday, senior health officials in North Yorkshire appealed for patience over the vaccination programme amid concern by some people about a lack of information.

    Vaccination for the Pfizer-BioNTech jab got underway this month at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
