It is 12 months to the day since the first case of Covid-19 was found in the Bradford district TODAY marks one year since the first case of Covid-19 was reported in the Bradford district. On March 1, 2020, a woman in her 50s from the Ilkley area became the first known case of Coronavirus in the district. The woman developed symptoms of the virus after returning home from a family holiday in Italy, and drove herself to hospital to be tested before self-isolating at home with her family. At this time, there had been just a handful of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the UK, and signalled the arrival of the deadly virus in Bradford.
