It’s the highest daily infections since March 21, when 15 were also reported.
The figure takes the total number of infections since the start of the pandemic to 7,805.
The daily number of cases reported is now based on PCR and lateral flow tests returning positive results.

However, if someone with a positive lateral flow test later has a negative result with a PCR test, the earlier result will be removed.
NHS England no longer reports coronavirus deaths from hospitals over weekends or on Bank Holidays.
Meanwhile, the district’s seven-day rate currently stands at 23 per 100,000 people.
The North Yorkshire average is 18 and the England rate is 37.
