Coronavirus cases in Wirral are down by 40%, with hospitals also coming under less pressure from the virus.
In the week up to May 1, Wirral’s infection rate was 122 per 100,000. That is 40% lower than last week’s figure and well below the highs of more than 1,000 per 100,000 we saw near the end of March.
It is difficult to make direct comparisons between current figures and those from before the end of March, as free testing is no longer available. But the massive fall in cases is a good sign and is a clear pattern which has been emerging in recent weeks.
