Coronavirus York updates; 29th November 2020

Deaths and test results

FOUR more York Hospital Trust deaths announced today. 1 on Friday and 3 yesterday. Brings send wave total fatalities to 81 at the York and Scarborough hospitals.

Hospital admissions usually lag someway behind infection rate increases/decreases so it may be a few days before a downward trend is seen in death rates.

TWENTY (20) additional positive test results today bringing the cumulative total to 5632

All neighbourhoods, including Heslington, are now below the 200 cases per 100k population benchmark.

Overall the City has an infection rate of 106.8. It remains on course to be below the important 100 case milestone before 10th December.

However, the impact – if any – of coming out of lockdown (on Wednesday) will be clear before the next tier review date is reached.

Question and answers

After some prompting, the Council has added information about hospital capacity and sources of infections to its weekly commentary (published here yesterday)
