Trafford neighbourhoods are continuing to dominate the top 10 biggest Covid-19 hotspots in Greater Manchester.

However parts of Bolton, Salford, Bury and Manchester have seen the lowest local infection rates, with cases in single figures in five areas.

The region’s 20 Covid-19 hotspots and areas where the virus is dwindling have been revealed through an interactive map which charts the number of positive test results in each neighbourhood across the country using government data.

It shows the number of infections per local area, broken down into neighbourhoods containing roughly 7,000 people.

The number of new cases is then used to calculate the infection rate per 100,000 people.

In the week to October 5 – the latest available local data – the Trafford neighbourhood of Flixton and Moorside recorded the region’s highest infection rate.

This stood at 1225.7, with 99 new cases – an increase of 51 from the previous seven day period.
