75 covid cases in Harrogate district but hospitalisations fall
Another 75 covid infections have been recorded in the Harrogate district in the past 24 hours, according to Public Health England.
It is almost double yesterday's figure of 42 and is the highest daily figure since January 13, when there were 86 infections.
However, separate figures released today by NHS England show the spike in infections is not leading to an increase in hospitalisations. There are currently two covid patients at Harrogate District Hospital - down from three last week, which suggests the vaccination programme is working.
The Harrogate district data reflects the national picture where cases have risen by almost 70% in a week but deaths have increased by just 11% and hospitalisations by 6%.
