Scarborough currently has the highest 7 day case rate per 100,000 population compared with other authorities in the North Yorkshire county area.
There have been six new positive covid cases in the Harrogate district in the past 24 hours, according to data from Public Health England.
It brings the total number of cases since the pandemic began to 7,767 in the district.
The daily number of cases reported is now based on PCR and lateral flow tests returning positive results.
However, if someone with a positive lateral flow test later has a negative result with a PCR test, the earlier result will be removed.
