No coronavirus deaths in Harrogate with lowest UK toll since lockdown
New statistics from the Department for Health and Social Care show that there have been 15 coronavirus deaths in the UK.
Harrogate District Hospital has not reported any coronavirus deaths today as the UK records the lowest daily toll.
The hospital in Harrogate remains at 80 deaths in total and has also discharged 125 patients.

It will be welcome news for many but there is usually a lag in reporting after weekends.
That is across all settings including care homes and anywhere in the community, not just hospitals.
Separate NHS figures out today revealed that England's hospitals reported 20 deaths - the fact that these hospital deaths are lower than deaths in all settings may seem confusing.
Our understanding is that the DHSC figures are for all settings reported on the previous day whereas the NHS hospital figures could be from days or even weeks ago.
