The Harrogate district's hopes of remaining in tier one at the end of the national lockdown seem to be fading away.
Local public health officials, who manage the coronavirus response in North Yorkshire, have been speculating ahead of an announcement tomorrow.
In a weekly coronavirus press briefing this morning, those officials said coronavirus rates can give you a feel for what tiers different areas will be in.
The average case rates in North Yorkshire is 195 per 100,000. England's average case rates are currently 207 per 100,000.
Areas like Scarborough and Selby are the only areas above the national average at 296 and 240 per 100,000 respectively.
The Harrogate district has seen a drop in case rates in recent weeks. It now has the second lowest rates in North Yorkshire at 157 just above Ryedale at 131.
