RULES: Bolton Town centre during the first national coronavirus lockdown OFFICIALS are due to announce today whether coronavirus rules will be relaxed across the borough. The government will review the current restrictions in place to slow the spread of covid-19, before deciding whether any changes need to be made.
Bolton is currently in tier 3 - the highest alert level - along with the rest of Greater Manchester. Areas across England could see the rules in place tightened or relaxed, depending on whether the infection rate had risen or fallen, or have measures continue if no change has been seen. Cllr Sue Baines, the cabinet member for health and wellbeing, says she hopes the borough could see restrictions eased.
