As the total number of cases across our county reaches more than 14,000, here are the worst-hit areas by infection rate in Yorkshire, which are accurate on June 3..
(Areas with larger populations will tend to have more cases than those with smaller populations. To account for the different population sizes, rates are calculated. The count for each area is divided by the total population and multiplied by 100,000.)
