Another seven covid cases in Harrogate district

A further seven covid cases have been reported in the Harrogate district, according to today’s Public Health England figures.

The district’s seven-day average covid rate stands at 15 infections per 100,000 people.

The North Yorkshire average is 22 and the England rate is 23.

No further covid deaths have been recorded at Harrogate District Hospital, according to NHS England statistics.

The last death from a patient who tested positive for covid was reported at the hospital on April 11.

The death toll at the hospital remains at 179 since the start of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, North Yorkshire health officials have warned the county will have to stay on high alert over covid for at least another year as the virus “won’t just evaporate suddenly” this summer.

Speaking at a briefing today, Richard Webb, director of health and adult services at the county council, said while there was a “growing sense of optimism” in the lifting of lockdown restrictions, the threat of new variants and need for booster vaccines meant the pandemic was far from over.

He told North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum:

“Pandemics don’t just go away – the thinking globally is they tend to take two to three years to work their way through..

“We are already talking about boosters… and we will continue to have isolated outbreaks in workplaces or schools. We may also have situations where we have new variants and have to do surge testing.

“There is a growing sense of optimism, however, we will still have to be on a high level of alert for probably the next 12 months.”

Image Gallery: the night thunder and lightning struck the Harrogate district

Storms kept many of us awake last night as thunder and lightning struck the Harrogate district at about midnight.

We asked our readers to send us their images and videos of last night’s weather.

This photo was sent in by reader Elaine Alder.

David Hodgson caught this shot of a lightning bolt above nearby houses.

Kaizer Herrington took this just before midnight last night as lightning hit Starbeck.

Scott Lambert watched the lightning as it crashed over Harlow Carr last night.

This one kept Danni Greig awake last night!
