Coronavirus infection rates have fallen in all ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. But the decline in the virus comes as the vaccine efforts ramp up ahead of the autumn months, with one vaccine urging people to get jabbed and 'not worry what type of Covid vaccine they're getting'.
Stockport continues to have the highest coronavirus infection rate in Greater Manchester. The borough recorded a rate of 102.3 cases per 100,000 people in the week ending August 6, according to the latest data from the UK Health Security Agency.
The lowest infection rate is in Oldham, where the rate is 56.0 cases per 100,000 people. In Greater Manchester as a whole, the infection rate is now 78.4 cases per 100,000 population. The infection rate in the region is lower than the national average, which is 85.9 cases per 100,000 people.
