Harrogate's coronavirus infection rate continues to climb
There were 145 new cases over the weekend.
Another 145 people in Harrogate tested positive for coronavirus over the first weekend of lockdown.
Harrogate East, Killinghall and Hampsthwaite are the areas which have continued to see the biggest rise in infections.
The borough's overall weekly infection rate now stands at 279 cases per 100 thousand.
It remains above the national average but is no longer the highest in North Yorkshire - after a sudden surge of cases in Scarborough.
The coastal borough’s infection rate has jumped from 92 cases per 100,000 people to 337 in just under a month.
In Harrogate, there has now been almost 3,000 confirmed infections and 121 virus-related deaths since the pandemic began, according to Public Health England figures.
The borough also recently broke its record for the highest number of daily infections with 96 added on Wednesday.
It comes as Harrogate’s new walk-in coronavirus testing site officially opened at the Dragon Road car park last month.
North Yorkshire County Council’s public health team has also launched its own test and trace system and is starting to trace contacts this week.
Testing at the walk-in site is available seven days a week from 8am until 8pm and it will have the capacity for around 320 tests per day.
Appointments must be booked in advance.
