No new coronavirus deaths have been recorded at hospitals in Greater Manchester today.
The region's hospital death toll now stands at 2,141, the latest NHS figures show.
Nationally, five new deaths of people with COVID-19 in hospitals have been announced but none in the entire north west region.
The five patients were aged between 66 and 95 and all had underlying health conditions.
The latest figures come as a major incident was declared in Greater Manchester over rising COVID-19 infections.
The move - in line with the region’s ‘outbreak’ strategy - is the same as would be declared in the event of a terror attack or major flood and means the region can access extra national resources if necessary.
The army could be drafted in to support police if needed.
Residents in the region are no longer allowed to meet in different households, or people from other households inside pubs and restaurants.

Each day the NHS in England publishes the number of deaths recorded by each hospital trust in the last 24 hour period.
These are deaths where the person had tested positive for the virus or where COVID-19 was mentioned on their death certificate.
These often sometimes include previously uncounted deaths that took place several days - or even weeks ago.
However they do not include deaths in care homes, the community or other settings.
