The seven day infection rate had been as low as 20 cases per 100,000 people in early march but had risen to 48 in the dataset released yesterday, which shows the figures for the seven days up to March 27th.

This is still higher than the North Yorkshire average, which is 35, but lower than the all England average of 44.
