Scarborough Borough COVID Rates Remain Highest in North Yorkshire

Rates across the county have improved in the last month but are still 4-5 times higher than at the end of the summer.

While the COVID infection rate in the Scarborough Borough has fallen significantly in the last month it is now once again the highest in North Yorkshire.

At one point last week the borough had lower seven infection rates than Selby and Craven but those areas have now seen further decreases while yesterday the rate in the Scarborough Borough increased slightly.

Richard Webb from the county's local resilience forum says we can't become complacent.

At one point Scarborough had a seven day infection rate that was over 600, but while the current figure of 164 cases per 100,000 people might seem a big improvement on that, Richard Webb says it's still much higher than at the end of the summer.
