Meanwhile, the district’s seven-day covid rate stands at 14 cases per 100,000 people.
The North Yorkshire average is 25 and the England rate is 29.
Due to a change in the way Public Health England reports cases of covid, the daily cases for April 9 has been left out.
A post on the Public Health England website said of the change:
"Newly reported cases at regional and local authority level within England are calculated as the daily change in the total number of cases.
"This means that for 9 April 2021, these show significantly lower numbers or zero, and should not be considered as the actual number of new cases reported on that date."
