Latest Covid-19 infection rates, deaths and cases for Leeds as end of lockdown nears

A further 172 people in Leeds have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 24 hours.

This brings the area's total number of confirmed infections to 35,528.

Leeds was one of three areas to record more than 100 cases within a day.

Across Yorkshire, 1,102 new cases have been reported and sadly, 39 people who tested positive have died in our region's hospitals.

Of those deaths, one was recorded at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Leeds, like the rest of West Yorkshire, is set to enter Tier 3 when the second national lockdown ends on December 2.

There is hope however that this could change before Christmas.

Yorkshire's infection rates

Infection rates continue to steadily decrease across Yorkshire as we are about to enter the final days of the second national lockdown.

Most West and South Yorkshire areas have recorded an infection rate of less than 300 while the majority of North Yorkshire's rates has dropped below 200.

When lockdown ends on December 2, West and South Yorkshire will be placed under Tier 3 restrictions and North Yorkshire will be in Tier 2.

There is speculation however that restrictions could be eased further before Christmas, depending on factors such as infection rates and hospital admissions.
