The overall death rate across Trafford is steadily decreasing.
A spokesperson for Trafford council said: “As a council, we are very saddened by the deaths of any of our residents from Covid-19 and we, along with our partners in the NHS, are doing everything we can to keep people safe. We are reviewing the deaths by ward, and although any death is one too many, the numbers overall are small, which means that we cannot comment on ward level figures.
“We know that our oldest residents, especially those with underlying health conditions, are the most vulnerable to COVID-19, and so we are working closely with our care homes in particular to make sure that we reduce the risks. We are pleased to note that the death rate is coming down in the borough.
“We would also like to thank residents across Trafford who have helped support the NHS by following the health advice on hand washing and social distancing. We would urge everyone to continue to follow this advice.”
