Greater Manchester has an addition figure provided which I have been keeping an eye on. It's reassuring to see that hospital cases haven't yet seen a rise in numbers for those who are on the intensive treatment wards and that, even though there has been a massive increase in the infections in our area, admissions to hospital are only rising slightly.
My borough is now recording the highest infection rate (66% rise) 1109.9 per 100,000 population in the North West of England.
