Last week, Bowdon, Timperley South, Hale and Hale Barns had confirmed fewer than three cases in the seven days ending February 24 and therefore managed to “suppress” the virus.
All of these areas – with the exception of Bowdon – have seen a slight increase since then. In the seven days leading up to March 2, there were four confirmed cases that narrowly lost their previous status.
Partington still has the highest infection rate in the district, with 19 positive Covid-19 cases confirmed there over the same period.
