Trafford’s public health bosses have issued guidance on how best to live with covid. The team and Trafford council held their final covid-19 public engagement board meeting on Wednesday (March 16) at a time when the borough’s infection rates are increasing.
It is the highest in Greater Manchester and currently stands at 530 cases per 100,000 population. Some 1,200 Trafford residents tested positive for covid in the week ending March 11.
Around 20 per cent of the people testing themselves in Trafford are testing positive – a huge increase on previous weeks and months. All age groups across Trafford have seen an increase in their infection rates, but the highest rates are still among the borough’s 30 to 44-year-olds.
