Been a good week for Bury and Bolton - down a good bit. Wigan going in the right direction now too. Trafford has plateaued but at a low point so no problem. Stockport is up and down and could go either way from here. Manchester much the same after record falls it has flatlined somewhat.
Rochdale, Tameside Salford and Oldham are over 100 and still going up
Nobody really in trouble but only Trafford is ahead of the NW average though Bury is close to there. Everyone else underperforming a little versus the NW region numbers. But not in any way that is surprising given it is the biggest conurbation and focus of population in the region so the place you would expect the virus to be most at home.
