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.
