The overall infection rate was 34.8 cases per 100,000 people as of April 30, which is marginally lower than the 35.8 cases per 100,000 reported.
It also remains higher than the national average which is 22.5, according to the latest figures from Public Health England. The slowdown can be linked to a rise in cases in Bolton, which continues to have the highest Covid infection rates in Greater Manchester with 73.4 per 100,000.
