Six cases of coronavirus confirmed in Harrogate district
Localised data from Public Health England shows that six cases of coronavirus tested positive this past week.
Six cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the Harrogate District this past week, according to Public Health England figures.
The data has been released by government on a localised map which shows the number of cases at a neighbourhood level across the country.
Between July 27 and August 4, six cases tested positive in the Spofforth, Burn Bridge and Huby area.

However, data for areas where fewer than two positive cases have been reported is not included.
So far, 733 cases have tested positive in the Harrogate district from the start of the pandemic with 2,591 in the wider county.
It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week that the prevalence of the virus is “likely to be rising” in England and delayed some lockdown easing measures.
Meanwhile, fears of a second spike in areas such as Greater Manchester, Kirklees, Calderdale and Bradford led to Secretary of State, Matt Hancock, imposing a local lockdowns.
