The second biggest increase in cases was seen in Bradford, with 20 newly confirmed cases, while Leeds saw an increase of 16 cases and Sheffield had an increase of 15.

There were no new cases recorded in either East Yorkshire or Hull and it was a decrease in the total number of cases from the previous day when there was an additional 106 cases recorded in Yorkshire. However, cases recorded at the weekend do tend to be lower than those during the week.
