The number of positive Covid cases in Oldham has fallen again.
The latest statistics show that the 7-day rate in the borough is now at 318 (per 100,000 population).
That is a drop of 15.6% from the last comparable 7 day period.
It s a long way from the peak of infections in November 2020 when the 7-day rate rose to over 800.
The data also shows that the under 60s are still most likely to become infected.
The figures come as the Government announced that 4,062,501 people in the UK have received at least a first dose of a Covid vaccine.
However, Dr Andrew Furber, North West Regional Director of Public Health at Public Health England warned against complacency asked the public to follow the rules and stay home as much as possible to help save lives.
