Coronavirus Rate In Harborough District Reaches New Record High
Written by HFM News on 6th January 2021
The Coronavirus rate in the Harborough District has reached a new record high today and now stands at just over 400 per 100,000 people.
The figure is below the national average, but there is concern at the increasing number of people testing positive in the District, which has increased 40% in the past week.
Mike Sandys, director of public health for Leicestershire says the new more infectious strain of the virus has spread from elsewhere and is no doubt contributing to the rise.
He is pleading for people to respect lockdown restrictions, in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus, and during an interview with Hfm, said he was pleased to see pictures of empty streets in Market Harborough today:
