Deaths and test results

ONE additional death announced today by the York Hospital Trust. The fatality occurred on Friday.

TWENTY ONE (21) positive test results announced today bring the total number of cases to 5774. Case rate is stable at around 65 /100k population.

The leveling off of the infection rate may have implications for the review of tiering arrangements which is due next week. Cornwall, the only large area to be in Tier 1, currently has an infection rate of only 25.4

The York infection rate also leveled off for a week or so at the beginning of November before starting to slowly decline again following the introduction of the “Lockdown”

There is little change to neighbourhood rates in York today. Clifton Without has the highest rate closely followed by Haxby.

Only 3 neighbourhoods are below the Cornwall rate including, interestingly, the City centre
