Covid-19 hospitalisations more than trebled during June. The figures soared from 131 for the week ending June 1 and now stand at 470.
The rise comes after Greater Manchester health chiefs have warned for weeks that the next ‘wave’ of the virus was beginning. Senior health sources have also told the Manchester Evening News that while hospitalisation figures can provide a steer on how prevalent the virus is in our communities right now, infection rates are an underreporting of the scale of infections being contracted.
A total of 470 patients were admitted to the city's hospitals with Covid-19 in the week ending June 26, the latest figures issued by the UK Health Security Agency ( UKHSA ) say. That figure is 48 more than the week before and a rise of 11 per cent.
