Suspicions that ministers have ‘got it in for Manchester’ after news of continued Covid measures
After almost four months under the strictest Covid restrictions, people in Greater Manchester are dismayed at the news they will head back into stringent tier 3 measures immediately after the national lockdown.
Covid case numbers have been falling in the region in recent weeks, although they remain high in many of Greater Manchester’s 10 boroughs. But in Trafford the rate of 190 cases per 100,000 people is not only lower than anywhere else in the city region but lower also than in many London boroughs.
