THE rate of coronavirus infection in York has risen slightly in the past week – according to Public Health England figures.
But it remains lower than many other parts of the country.
According to the latest figures, the rate of positive Covid-19 tests in York is 3.3 per 100,000 people tested.
The rate was 1.9 per 100,000 in the previous week.
The data is based on both Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 testing sources – and the latest figures related to tests carried out between June 29 and July 5 – before pubs, restaurants and cafes were allowed to reopen.
