Speaking at a meeting of the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum Richard Webb, North Yorkshire County Council’s director of Health and Adult Services, said: “As you will see from the figures there is quite a lot of fluctuation they are changing quite a bit from day to day, partly because the numbers are much smaller so any increase in cases begin to almost have a disproportionate impact.”
