The Scarborough Borough’s coronavirus rate remains above the national average for the second week running after holding steady over the last week.

There were 362 new Covid-19 infections in the last seven days at an average of 52 each day.

It means that Scarborough’s rate remains higher than the average England which stands at 312 per 100,000 and the North Yorkshire average which is now 332.

Selby has the highest rate in the county at 398.
