Meanwhile, if the relaxation of restrictions does go ahead tomorrow, people are still being urged to be cautious in their behaviour, with the new Indian variant spreading, particularly in Bolton.
"As things continue to open up, it's even more important you get a PCR test if you have COVID19 symptoms or feel unwell in any way" states NHS Salford "New variants have a range of symptoms, so book a test if you feel unwell to rule out the virus and stop the spread."
