Locations of 110 new cases in Yorkshire as total confirmed in Leeds nears 3,800

Almost 3,800 people have tested positive for coronavirus in Leeds during the pandemic.

Figures released by Public Health England show 300,692 people, including 3,766 in Leeds, have been diagnosed with the virus so far.

Over the last two weeks, 93 people have tested positive for the virus in Leeds, but just one death has been recorded in the city's NHS hospitals.

Leeds also has one of the lowest infection rates (477.2) in Yorkshire, while neighbouring Bradford has the highest (911.8).

Across Yorkshire, 30,652 people have tested positive for the virus and 710 of those cases were recorded over the last seven days.

And according to NHS figures, 2,562 people, including 338 in Leeds, have died at NHS hospitals in the county after contracting the virus.

During the pandemic more than 690 people have lost their lives to the virus in Leeds, according to Office for National Statistics figures.

On July 2, Public Health England changed the way it records confirmed cases of coronavirus.

The figures now include historic pillar two data, which comes from fixed testing sites, mobile and home testing data.

Before this, figures of positive cases only included pillar one figures which came from hospital and health care testing.
