Here's a summary of today's developments across Yorkshire:

• New lockdown restrictions will affect all parts of Calderdale, Kirklees and Bradford - including the parts of those districts not already under local lockdown restrictions
• The stricter restrictions will be in force from Tuesday 22 September
• The restrictions mean people in affected areas will be banned from socialising with people from beyond their households or support "bubble" in private homes and gardens
• It also means people in the affected areas must not socialise with others they do not live with in other indoor public venues
• And the restrictions mean people in the affected areas must not visit friends or family in care homes, other than in exceptional circumstances
• While Leeds will see no new lockdown restrictions imposed for now, the city council has warned further limits will be considered if infections keep rising
• And Scarborough and Selby in North Yorkshire are now "areas of concern" - meaning if the virus isn't controlled there, more serious intervention measures could be imposed

Strict measures could be introduced in the Scarborough and Selby districts after both areas of North Yorkshire were added to Public Health England's coronavirus watch list.

Scarborough and Selby have been designated as "areas of concern" because of a growing infection rate, the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum (NYLRF) said.

This means if the virus isn't controlled in those areas, more serious intervention measures could be put in place.

Susan Hopkins, from Public Health England, says: "If infection rates continue to rise in Scarborough and Selby then we may need to go further.

"We will review each local authority area on a daily basis and decide whether anything needs to be escalated nationally, regionally and locally," she adds.

The leader of Bradford Council is asking people to continue to follow the rules in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus, after it was announced the city faces tougher lockdown restrictions from next week.

A ban on people meeting others from outside their own household or support "bubble" is one of the measures being imposed for the whole of Bradford, Calderdale and Kirklees.

Susan Hinchcliffe, leader of Bradford Council, said infection rates across the district have continued to increase.

She said: “We are all at risk and everyone needs to continue to stay safe, take the utmost care to minimise the spread of this terrible virus, and protect vulnerable people.

“The infection rate is rising. Hospital admissions are rising. It is everyone’s responsibility to reduce the risk of Covid-19 spreading."

Ms Hinchliffe also thanked residents, the NHS and volunteers for their help so far during the pandemic.

“Keeping 2m apart from each other, regular hand-washing, and wearing a face covering indoors will help to beat this virus and protect our loved ones and jobs”, she added.

A memorial garden for people who have been affected by Covid-19 is being created at a South Yorkshire hospital.

Fundraising by staff at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) is paying for the memorial garden.

It's being created to honour those affected by the virus, including colleagues Kevin Smith and Dr Medhat Atalla who died earlier this year.

Bassetlaw Hospital will have a garden, as will Doncaster Royal Infirmary - and both will be open to the public.

David Purdue, from the trust, said: “As an organisation, we have been humbled by the amount of support we have received from our local communities throughout the past few months.

“When we launched our Rainbow Garden appeal, we were expecting to raise £25,000, with a stretch target to £35,000 that we thought might be achieved in our wildest dreams.

"However, local people had other ideas, and, as ever, have gone above and beyond, and raised more than £40,000 which will be used to create two beautiful gardens in memory of much missed friends, family and loved ones.”

People living in areas of North Yorkshire which have now been placed on the coronavirus "watch list" must take additional measures to protect themselves and others, according to the county's health boss.

Scarborough and Selby have been placed on an "area of concern" list, meaning people there are being asked to be more careful after the coronavirus infection rate rose.

Dr Lincoln Sargeant, director of public health for North Yorkshire, said: “In light of the escalating community infection rates in these areas, and the very real threat to some of our residents who are prone to severe illness if they contract the virus, I am asking everyone to step up their vigilance.

“So please - alongside the 'hands, face, space' guidance - wear a face covering outdoors and avoid crowded areas where social distancing is difficult. Please encourage your friends and family to follow suit.

"We ask you to restrict social contacts outside household or support bubbles. By doing this now you will help avoid wider measures which could impact on schools, jobs and local businesses."

Shops, pubs and restaurants in North Yorkshire are also being asked to "step up" their Covid-19 security, including the use of hand sanitiser and strict limits on the number of people inside buildings.

Scarborough Council's leader calls for extra vigilance to avoid further restrictions being imposed.

People claiming to be coronavirus enforcement officers are reported to be demanding on-the-spot fines in Doncaster, police say.

South Yorkshire Police officers in Doncaster say there have been reports of people demanding the fines be paid by those not wearing face coverings.

However, only police officers can enforce the coronavirus legislation, the force says.

The town's neighbourhood policing team says there are "no on-the-spot fines" and members of the public should not hand cash over to anyone.

It added: "A police officer will show you their ID card unless they are in uniform. If you have any concerns please contact us on 101."

Parts of West Yorkshire will have local lockdown restrictions re-imposed just weeks after they were eased as case numbers increase.

No new coronavirus lockdown restrictions have been imposed on Leeds this week, but it could face further limits next week if infections continue to rise, the council says.

The authority's leader, Councillor Judith Blake, says coronavirus is "a threat to everyone in our city".

She adds: "We're asking students not to organise or attend gatherings which break laws and social distancing guidelines."

Meanwhile, a joint statement issued by Leeds’ higher education leaders, students’ union leaders and the city council says: "A huge amount of work has been undertaken to make campuses welcoming and Covid-secure.

"It's crucial we all protect and share responsibility for the communities we work and live in and that we respect, support and show consideration for one another.

"We take reports about anyone organising or attending illegal house parties very seriously and make students aware of the potential sanctions they could receive, which include police fines and disciplinary action."

Leeds City Council asked for a 22:00 curfew to be implemented.

People in coastal towns in North Yorkshire are being warned to be "extra vigilant" to avoid further coronavirus lockdown restrictions being imposed, following the announcement that Scarborough has been placed on Public Health England's coronavirus watch list.

The borough of Scarborough's been designated an "area of concern" - as has Selby - because of a growing infection rate.

Mike Greene, chief executive of Scarborough Borough Council, said: “Despite the fact our borough is now on the government watch list, Filey, Whitby and Scarborough will remain safe, so long as we all do our bit to minimise the virus spreading.

“Now is the time for everyone to be extra vigilant by taking greater precautions over and above the national guidelines.

“We worked closely with residents and businesses during lockdown and I am confident we can pull together once more," he added.

The coronavirus infection rate is rising "significantly" across Calderdale, the borough's council has warned.

It comes as the government announces it's to impose tighter restrictions for Calderdale from next week, including a ban on people meeting friends or family from outside their households or support "bubble".

Restrictions are already in place for Halifax, but all of Calderdale will now be affected by these restrictions from Tuesday.

Leader of Calderdale Council, councillor Tim Swift, said: “This is not the news we would have wished for, and we know this is difficult to hear for many people, but we do understand the safety of our community must always come first.

“Sadly, infection rates are rising significantly across the whole of Calderdale and throughout the country. We can all still make a difference by following guidance, washing our hands, social distancing, wearing face coverings and limiting time with other people."

The council says the restrictions are as follows:

• People must not have visitors from or visit other households in their home or garden (other than those in their support bubble)
• People must not socialise with others they do not live with in other indoor public venues
• People must not visit friends or family in care homes, other than in exceptional circumstances.

Mr Swift added: “Let’s not give up hope, let’s not blame anyone, let’s stay kind and compassionate. Together we can beat this.”
