Stark Warning from North Yorkshire Health Leaders over Lockdown

All the effort put into beating COVID over the last year could be thrown away if people stop following the lockdown rules.

While the COVID infection rate is falling there is a renewed warning from health leaders in North Yorkshire this weekend that the rate could easily increase again if we don't keep following the lockdown rules.

Last weekend saw a 33 percent increase in the number of COVID fines issued in the county as more people breached the continuing lockdown regulations.

Amanda Bloor from the NHS in the county says the situation is still dangerous.

There was a 33% increase in the number of COVID fines issued last weekend as people broke the continuing stay at home rule.

Amanda says the virus isn't beaten yet and there's a danger we could lose all the progress if we've made if we don't keep following the lockdown guidance.

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.
