Cases identified through a positive lateral flow test – those which can deliver results within half an hour – will no longer be counted if the person then takes a PCR test, which is sent to a lab to be checked, and receives a negative result within three days.
The rate of infection in Doncaster now stands at 7,768 cases per 100,000 people, higher than the England average of 6,975.
