Earlier today, the Manchester Evening News reported how the number of coronavirus infections in Greater Manchester has increased by more than a fifth since the introduction of local restrictions.
New rules were imposed by the government across all ten boroughs in the region on July 30, after data showed a marked increase in confirmed cases earlier that month.
Updated figures show that across the whole of Greater Manchester the number of positive tests increased at a similar rate to the two weeks leading up to the restrictions.
