Government data also released today shows how the Harrogate district has added just nine more coronavirus cases today, taking that total to 7,428 so far.
Cases have been low in recent weeks which means that the seven-day rate has also come down.
The Harrogate district now has a seven-day case rate of 45 per 100,000 population which slightly above the North Yorkshire average of 42.
However, the Harrogate district is below the England average which currently sits at 58 per 100,000.
