The rise comes after Greater Manchester health chiefs have warned for weeks that the next ‘wave’ of the virus was beginning
Covid-19 hospitalisations more than trebled during June. The figures soared from 131 for the week ending June 1 and now stand at 470.
In the absence of free mass testing, doctors and public health officials alike tell the M.E.N. that infection rates are likely being heavily underreported. Fewer people are likely to report their results as tests now come at a cost, and there are no rules in place to make the reporting mandatory. In Greater Manchester as a whole, the infection rate is now 182.8 cases per 100,000 population. The infection rate in the region is lower than the national average, which is 214.2 cases per 100,000 people.
Since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 1,010,889 confirmed coronavirus cases in Greater Manchester. There has been a total of 9,441 deaths. Bolton saw a total of 527 cases in the week ending June 27, which is 224 more than the previous week. That is a rise of 74 per cent.In Stockport, there were 643 positive Covid-19 tests in the week ending June 27, which is 124 more than the previous seven days.

Acute cardiac side effects after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination: a case series - European Journal of Medical ResearchBackground Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has been the main tool to contain the pandemic. The rush development of the 3 vaccines and their expedited approval have led to inoculation of millions of patients around the world, leading to a containment of the disease. Despite continuous viral mutations and the identification of weaker variants, the severity of the infections has been mild, with many patients being either asymptomatic or recovering at home. Currently the focus has shifted from the host of organ damage related to the infection to potential side effects of the vaccine. Myocarditis has been reported as one of the potential side effects from the mRNA vaccine, affecting young healthy individuals. Up to September 30, 2021, 1.243 cases of myocarditis after vaccination with BNT162b2 Comirnaty© were registered in young adults by the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute in Germany alone. The exact pathophysiology and the risk factors for myocarditis following vaccination remain unclear. We present a case series of eight patients with cardiac symptom shortly after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination (BNT162b6, Biontech, Comirnaty© or mRNA-1237 Moderna, Spikevax©). Patients and methods Eight patients between 13 and 56 years of age, vaccinated with either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 mRNA vaccine between January and August 2021 developed cardiac side effects shortly after either their first or second dose of the vaccine. Clinical data were retrieved from the clinical information system and analyzed. To support diagnosis of myocarditis or pericarditis, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed shortly after the onset of symptoms, with further investigations in severe cases. Symptoms were defined as dyspnea, chest pain and cardiac arrhythmia as determined by electrocardiography. Results Eight patients (5 males and 3 females) developed cardiac symptoms compatible with myocarditis, according to the CDC criteria, shortly after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination. Three patients (2 males, 1 femal
