Meanwhile, the Harrogate district’s coronavirus infection rate is still “plateauing” after falling sharply last month, latest figures show.
The district’s weekly rate now stands at 266 cases per 100,000 people – a level it has remained stable at over the past two weeks.
It marks a significant decrease from when the rate peaked at 533 in mid July but officials have warned the latest figure is still too high and that the wider health and social care sector is facing “exceptional” levels of demand.
