RYEDALE’S MP has said he expects the region to move into a higher coronavirus tier this week. Kevin Hollinrake, MP for Thirsk and Malton, who took part in the weekly North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum call yesterday (Tuesday), said:”There is no doubt that rates are climbing significantly and North Yorkshire rates are at similar levels to areas that were put into Tier 3. “I am still arguing for a super local approach to keep some districts in Tier 2, but regrettably, I think we can reasonably expect York and North Yorkshire to enter a higher tier in the next few days, my best guess being the early hours of New Year’s Day.
RYEDALE residents are being asked to remain vigilant over the Christmas period following a rise in coronavirus infection rates. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced at the weekend that the five-day festive window for people to visit each other was reduced to just Christmas Day. Richard Flinton, chief executive of North Yorkshire County Council, said: “Over the weekend, we saw the relaxation of the rules over Christmas tightened again, we learned a little more about the new strain of the coronavirus and its rapid growth. “Sadly, we also saw infection rates in some areas of North Yorkshire growing in a very worrying way once again.
