    The daily record for covid cases in the Harrogate district has been obliterated, with 493 new infections recorded today.

    Yesterday's decline from the previous record of 330 to 279 had suggested numbers could have peaked. But today's surge has dashed hopes.

    The seven-day rate has also set a new record, now standing at 1,139 per 100,000. The North Yorkshire average is 1,140 and the England rate is 1,456.

    The growth rate has jumped to 2.2. Harrogate West and Pannal Ash remains the worst hit area, with 156 cases in the last seven days.

    Covid has been recorded on the death certificates of 366 people in the district, including one in the last week.

    A total of 101,823 booster or third jabs have now been administered in the district.
