The number of people in Scarborough Hospital will Covid-19 has fallen to just four.

The figures were revealed at a meeting of the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum (NYLRF) this morning.

The number is a reduction of three on last week. Two months ago there were 35 Covid patients in the hospital.

The number of Covid patients in North Yorkshire has also fallen by 70 to 129 in the last seven days.

Amanda Bloor, NHS North Yorkshire CCG accountable officer said the numbers were “really positive” but also warned that people should not drop their guard.

Mrs Bloor said:

“Please, please continue to adhere to the government guidance as we take our steps towards the roadmap being unlocked more over the coming weeks.”

The borough is averaging five new cases every day.

It was also revealed last week that 42,000 people have now received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine in Scarborough.

The NHS has released figures showing that in the period up to February 28 42,867 people in the borough had been vaccinated, up from 38,416 a week earlier

The data include vaccinations administered in hospital hubs, local vaccination service sites such as GP practices and at vaccination centres.
