GM Weekly Pop Data after today:~
Borough / Pop Today / 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

Very good day for everyone but Stockport, who went up the table and were the only one of the 10 boroughs NOT to reduce their Pop Score today. Though they did stay the same at least.
The first time NO GM borough has risen on a day in two months.
Moreover BOTH Trafford and Rochdale did enough today and recently to FALL week to week in their Pop Scores.
The start - hopefully - of the big turnaround.
Ironically ITV just announced on the news - from the 5 day old data - that Wigan's Pop Score is now in the 800s - on the day it fell out of there!
Which they will not see until next week
Stockport up by 83 to 9803 - beaten well by Trafford up 72 - to reach 9915 . So Stockport's lead drops by 11 to 112.
Trafford will still exit the 9000 club in the next 48 hours and barring a disaster by Stockport it will now still be last borough standing there.
For just a couple of days.
By Monday GM will be 5 figures only,
Bolton up 62 to 12, 949 - likely to join the majority of GM in the 13 K club tomorrow. Lowest rise ofthe day in Bolton is good news here too.
Manchester up 78 - to 13, 134
Rochdale up 75 onto 12, 868.
But Oldham up 99 - the highest today but just avoiding a ton - -to reach 13, 099.
Salford also high at 88 to go onto 12, 602.
Bury up 75 - to 12, 108 .
Tameside up by 80 today to 10, 947. Likely be in the 11K club tomorrow.
Wigan much better than of late on 87 to 12, 380.
