The COVID infection rate in the Scarborough Borough has fallen slightly after weeks of increasing.
The latest seven day infection rate figures show the borough has 209 cases for every 100,000 people, that's down from a December peak of 274 on December 19th.
Hambleton now has the highest rate in North Yorkshire at 242, the county average is 165, the all England average is 356.
There is still a hotspot of cases in Whitby, but areas like Filey appear to have seen a significant fall in cases.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
