Greater Manchester also a record high.
3583 cases today - UP by 86 on yesterday - from the rise of 164 in the NW
That is a bit over expectation. But not by much. Around the same as yesterdy but vastly lower daily increase (it was then up 1106 on the day).
Week to week GM is up by 1943 from 1640 - from the NW rise of 3721.
That is a little over expectation in the split again.
So Greater Manchester is clearly a significant factor in the huge case rises and Omicron outbreaks.
Here are the cases - many of these are new records again for everything!

MANCHESTER 771 - up 32 on yesterday & 461 on last week POP SCORE 139 (now 19,675)
