HOSPITAL rates in North Yorkshire are not rising as quickly as in previous Covid-19 waves, according to one county health chief. Amanda Bloor, accountable officer for the North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group said that the number of patients in the county’s hospitals was not mirroring the spike in infection rates. She told a meeting of the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum that 22 patients with Covid-19 were in hospital currently, compared to 23 last week. The number includes two patients in Harrogate Hospital and six in York. The infection rate in North Yorkshire, meanwhile, continues to rise, with almost 900 cases recorded in the last week. The rate per 100,000 people now stands at 144, up from 45 two weeks ago.
