Covid hospital cases: here’s how many people are in hospitals in and around Greater Manchester

More than 75% of the UK’s adult population are now fully vaccinated against Covid but the disease is still putting strain on hospitals across the country, including those in Manchester.

Thousands are testing positive each day and more than 600 deaths have been reported in the last seven days among people who tested positive within 28 days, according to the latest UK Government figures.
