Wigan 123 – up from 109. Total cases 16, 377. Weekly 806. Pop score up 37 to 4983. Bar a really low score will be going into the 5000 club tomorrow sadly as the seventh borough to do so, Weekly Pop down 3 to 245.
Bolton 92 – down from 109 . Total cases 14, 683. Weekly 744. Pop score up 32 to 5204. Weekly Pop down 11 to 258.
Oldham 84- down from 102. Total cases 14, 599. Weekly 658, Pop score up 36 to 6193. Biggest rise in GM today. But Blackburn rose by 43 today so went further ahead as the highest Pop Score in the UK at 6355, Weekly Pop down 12 to 278.
Rochdale 75 – down from 76. Total cases 12, 497, Weekly 646. Pop score up 34 to 5619 Weekly Pop down 16 to 291.
Salford 67 – up from 64. Total cases 13, 266. Weekly 451. Pop score up 26 to 5125. Weekly Pop down 2 to 174.
Bury 61 – down from 76, Total cases 9632. Weekly 454. Pop score up 32 to 5043. Weekly Pop down 7 to 237.
Stockport 57 – down from 63. Total cases 10, 433. Weekly 483. Pop score up 20 to 3556. Weekly Pop down 6 to 165.
Tameside 57 – up from 41. Total cases 10, 331. Weekly 387. Pop score up 25 to 4561. Weekly Pop down 9 to 171. GM now has four boroughs sub 200 weekly pop and that would normally be seen as low enough to be tier 2 if it were the only factor. Though it isn't, I realise. There were none under 200 just two weeks ago. Now Manchester could make it 5 any day. And after today's falls in the Pop scores nobody is now even at 300. Let alone the 400 – the level shown on the government graph as the point where the upper tier normally kicks in.
Trafford 37 – down from 38 and 5 of the last 6 were scores in the 30s and 15 days now since any over 100 here. Total cases 8634. Weekly 299. Ahead in a race with Tameside for lowest weekly total. Pop score up 16 to 3638. Cuts the gap to Stockport for best in GM over the pandemic by 4 to just 82. Weekly Pop up by 5 though - to 127. Still lowest in GM but rises because the week to week cases went slightly up. Only 38 ahead of Stockport in the weekly total race now With Salford and Tameside not much further behind.
