'We’re still here' - that’s the message from Manchester’s public health chief as the city moves to extend its helpline for those suffering the effects of the pandemic.
The extension of Manchester's dedicated Covid-19 helpline, open seven days a week, comes as Covid rates are again surging in the region, and Greater Manchester's lead director of public health warns that 'we are seeing another wave' of the virus.
The helpline is staffed with a nursing team, with translation available, and the team will help with any topic related to Covid – from, testing and vaccinations, to overall health, social and wellbeing advice, including issues around loneliness and anxiety.
