There have been no new virus-related deaths announced by Salford Royal Hospital, as hospital data for all hospitals in Greater Manchester more or less are showing improvement.
The number of weekly admissions for COVID-19 and in-patient diagnosis has fallen from 103 on 6th April, to 83 on 13th April, while the number of COVID patients in GM hospitals has fallen from 219 on 7th April, to 191 on 14th April. The number of COVID patients in intensive care has also fallen from 48 to 40 during the same period.
Meanwhile, the seven day rate of cases in the over 60s per 100,000 population has dropped to 22.6 in Salford for the week ending 9th April, from 59.5 on 19th March. The current rate for all ages in Salford is 39.4.
In Greater Manchester care homes the percentage of residents with either COVID-19 or showing symptoms has fallen to 0.6% on 14th April, down from 0.9% on 7th April.
The highest prevalence of COVID-19 at the moment is in the 30-44 age group, and the number of cases in the 30 to 64 age group are expected to increase as lockdown eases.
Commenting on the figures, GM Health Lead Richard Leese says that as the COVID-19 case numbers drop, small numbers can have an influence on the percentages. He adds that vaccinations have had a real impact on transmission and the number of infections, and that hospitals should be back to operating on full cylinders in June, although the backlog will take two to three years to clear.
