How coronavirus has affected the economy in Yorkshire

This week marks six months since the country was put into a national lockdown and Calendar has been looking at how the pandemic has affected our region's economy.

There are fears that unemployment in Hull could reach levels not seen in the city since the 1980s - with the end of the Government's furlough scheme just weeks away - while thousands have already lost work.

Economists have suggested the city could be among those worst affected by the Covid crisis - but while many companies and workers are suffering the after effects of lockdown - many remain confident the area can bounce back once again.

Meanwhile a West Yorkshire construction company is warning that the effects of delays in the industry because of the pandemic may not be fully felt until next year. Nathan Priestley from The Priestley Group said prioritising projects now is the best way to stimulate the economy.
