Andy Burnham points to improving infection rate and calls for swaths of region to enter tier 2
Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, has said there is a “clear case” to relax Covid restrictions across a large part of the region as the government reviews the rules across England on Wednesday.
About 34 million people – 60% of England’s population – are expected to face winter under tier 3, the toughest regulations, with pubs and restaurants forced to close until the new year.
