Scarborough’s coronavirus rate remains the lowest in North Yorkshire.

The borough’s seven day rate, per 100,000, is at 13, the same level it was on Friday.

The overall rate in North Yorkshire has jumped, from 35 to 41 and the rate for England is up 10, to 70.

Today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce a delay of up to four weeks on the planned end of coronavirus restrictions, that had been scheduled for next Monday.

The delay will allow more people to get vaccinated, as cases of the Delta variant of Covid-19 continue to rise.

The PM will hold a press conference later today, to confirm the changes.

Mobile testing facilities will be available in Whitby, Scarborough and Filey this week, for anyone with symptoms to get tested.
