Big Fall in Scarborough Borough COVID Infection Rate

The borough now has the lowest average infection rate in North Yorkshire

The seven day average infection rate in the Scarborough borough stands at 287 cases per 100,000 people down from 566 two weeks ago.

Decreases in the figure have also occurred across the rest of the county but nowhere has the fall been as dramatic as in the Scarborough borough which has seen a 43% decline in the last two weeks.

The latest figures say there are an average of 50 new COVID cases a day confirmed in the borough. The NHS say there are 19 patients with COVID in Scarborough Hospital.

The North Yorkshire average infection rate is now below the English average, having been above the all England Rate for a number of weeks. The North Yorkshire figure now stands at 419, the all England figure is 447.

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.
