Seven new covid cases in Harrogate district
A further seven new covid cases have been diagnosed in the Harrogate district in the last 24 hours.
The figures, produced by Public Health England, take the total number of confirmed cases in the district since the start of the pandemic to 933.
However, residents across the Harrogate district have reported difficulty in accessing testing, even when they have symptoms. A mobile testing unit visits Harrogate's Dragon Road car park twice a week.
The latest figures come amid a picture of a growing number of cases across the country, as the government prepares to introduce further restrictions in an attempt to reduce the spread.

However, Harrogate District Hospital has not reported any deaths in patients with covid since July 19.
