Twelve further coronavirus cases confirmed in Harrogate district
Twelve more coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the Harrogate District, according to latest Public Health England figures. The government is set to review the local tier system this week.
A further 12 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the Harrogate District in the last 24 hours, according to Public Health England.
It takes the total number of cases up to 3,863.
Meanwhile, the district’s seven-day average, which is the rate up to December 10, stands at 78 per 100,000 people.
It represents a further drop in the rate recently and puts the district third lowest in the county.

The R number rose from 0.4 to 0.5 over the weekend after falling consistently since early November.
It means every 10 people infected pass on covid to five others, which means the virus is still diminishing in the district but at a slower rate.
While North Yorkshire’s cases have remained low, it seems likely that the county will remain in tier two.
Last week, local public health bosses said they hoped the county would be downgraded after Christmas.
