Harrogate district reports another 308 covid infections
The Harrogate district’s covid rate continues to climb after another 308 infections were reported today.
Latest figures show that the district’s seven-day covid average stands at 1,544 per 100,000 people.
But it remains below both the county average, which stands at 1,680, and the England rate of 1,853.
No further deaths from patients who tested positive for covid have been reported at Harrogate District Hospital, according to NHS England.
Latest available hospital figures show a total of 23 patients who tested positive for covid are currently being treated at Harrogate District Hospital.
Meanwhile, North Yorkshire County Council has stepped up emergency planning to mitigate for what it calls a “significant reduction” in staff across critical care services and the wider care sector amid rising covid rates.
