The British government has re-imposed local Covid-19 restrictions on parts of the Greater Manchester area in northern England, just as they were being lifted, the latest in a series of abrupt reversals, Reuters reported.
“Following a significant change in the level of infection rates over the last few days, a decision has been taken that Bolton and Trafford will now remain under existing restrictions,” Health Secretary Matt Hancock said in a statement.
“We have always been clear we will take swift and decisive action where needed to contain outbreaks.”
