Salford has 13 new confirmed cases of coronavirus bringing the cumulative total to 1,706, up from the previous day's 1,693.

There have been no new virus-related deaths at Salford Royal Hospital.
Yesterday the Government kept tight restrictions on Greater Manchester (apart from Wigan) and Salford remains of the national Watchlist of local authorities (see previous Salford Star article – click here). As such, Public Health England has produced specific maps and graphs for city showing cases and testing data.
Up until 16th August the graphs appear to show the seven day moving average of testing in Salford declining slightly over the previous week, from just under 500 people to just over 400 people. At the same time, the seven day moving average of positive tests rose from around ten to around 13. A further graph shows that the vast majority of positive tests are in the working age population – 18 to 64.
Meanwhile, a map of Lower Super Output Areas in the city (which goes into more local detail than the Middle Super Output Area map published on the Government website), covering two weeks from 3rd to 16th August, shows the heaviest rate of cases around some areas of Higher Irlam, Walkden and Higher Broughton. It must be noted, however that these statistics are six days out of date now...
