Cases of coronavirus are back on the rise, and have increased in all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester, figures have revealed.
Despite this, they are all still currently lower than the national average. However, also on the rise are hospitalisations with the virus, up 9 per cent week on week.
The news comes just a matter of days before the government pledged to scrap the current Covid travel rules, as the government continues to operate its 'living with Covid' strategy - including scrapping free universal Covid testing for the general public in England from April 1.
