This is how likely you are to be contacted by NHS Test and Trace in each part of Yorkshire

The proportion of people being contacted by the NHS Test and Trace system has been falling.

Across England, just 57.6 per cent of non-complex close contacts were reached and told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace in the latest week to October 7. Yorkshire and the Humber as a whole performed slightly better, with 57.8 per cent. Shadow health minister Justin Madders said the heavily-criticised NHS Test and Trace system is "falling apart", as he echoed calls for a circuit breaker lockdown amid another surge in positive cases. Below, data from the Department for Health and Social care shows what proportion of each positive case's contacts were reached by Yorkshire area.
