Scarborough Coronavirus rate highest in North Yorkshire
That's despite the borough's average seven-day infection rate falling over the last week.
Scarborough’s coronavirus infection rate has fallen dramatically in the last seven days, despite having the worst figures in the county.
The borough’s seven-day rate, per 100,000 people, is now 318, a drop of 73 from 391 on this time last week.
There were 346 new Covid-19 infections in the last seven days, at an average of 49 each day.
It means that Scarborough’s rate remains above both the average England, which stands at 254 per 100,000 and the North Yorkshire average, which is now 242.
The borough has the highest infection rate in the county, ahead of Harrogate on 274.
Ryedale currently has the lowest rate in North Yorkshire, at 191.
The number of Covid-19 patients in hospitals in Scarborough and York has dropped one to 46, with the number of patients requiring intensive care down by two to four.
