No deaths but Harrogate district covid rate continue to rise
The Harrogate district's coronavirus rate of infection has continued to increase — but there have been no covid-related deaths for almost two months now.
The district recorded a further seven coronavirus cases, according to today's figures by NHS England
The seven-day average rate of infection is now to 29 per 100,000 in population. The North Yorkshire average is 23 and the England average is 44.
Harrogate's rate is the second highest of the seven North Yorkshire districts behind Selby.
The last covid-related death at Harrogate District Hospital was on April 11.
There have been 109,175 first vaccine doses and 83,547 second doses in the Harrogate district.
From tomorrow, all those who are 25-years-old and over will be invited to book a vaccine.
It comes as the UK health regulator has also given the go-ahead for the Pfizer/BioNtech jab to be used on 12 to 15 years old.
