“There has definitely been a post Christmas surge in Coronavirus cases in York” – the city’s director of public health has warned.
Sharon Stoltz told BBC Radio York: “Just in York alone yesterday’s figures show we have over 2,700 new cases of Covid in the last 7 days, that’s data up to 27 December. That’s unprecedented, we’ve never had that number of cases before.”
“I would expect to see a further surge after new year as well.”
Ms Stoltz is urging people to “make choices about their level of risk while they’re still sober” ahead of new year celebrations later.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the UK is in an “incomparably better” position now than this time last year but New Year’s Eve revellers should remain cautious.
