    "Thankfully we’re not currently seeing this impact our numbers of deaths and hospital admission caused by Covid-19 but if we continue to see our infections increase, this may very quickly change.

    “We have an opportunity right now to prevent our situation from worsening and that’s why we’ve put our surge testing and increased vaccine plan in place.

    "I’m urging everyone to play their part so we can reduce our infection rate and get Kirklees safely through the roadmap out of lockdown."
