A 100% increase in cases. Please do your bit to keep Calderdale out of local lockdown. Get tested, get vaccinated and socialise outside of you can.

254 residents tested positive for #COVID19 between 4-10 June, giving Calderdale an infection rate of 120 per 100,000. This is an increase of 100% compared to the same day last week. Thanks to everyone who is doing their bit and taking up the extra testing.
