Amanda Bloor, accountable officer at North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group, says the situation across the county is 'relatively stable' although numbers are going up.

Harrogate District Hospital currently has 10 coronavirus patients with one in intensive care.

Amanda Bloor, accountable officer at North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group, revealed the figures at a North Yorkshire Resilience Forum press briefing yesterday.

Ms Bloor said there were 116 coronavirus patients in hospitals across the county, which was well below the level in the early days of the pandemic in spring.

She said:

“We are seeing the number of inpatient admissions with covid increasing, but we are not yet at the levels of hospitalisations that we were back at the beginning and in the middle of April.
“We have currently got 116 people in hospital beds; we had in excess of 300 in early April.
“It is a relatively stable position, although we are seeing a slight upward trend in terms of those numbers.”

She added that accident and emergency and 999 call demand had returned to pre-covid levels.

Harrogate District Hospital set aside 100 beds for covid patients in preparation for the second wave.

Hospital bosses said last month that they were more confident of coping this time.

The number of coronavirus cases in the Harrogate district has increased sharply since the start of September.

However, there has not been a death reported at Harrogate hospital since September 29.
