Oldham has recorded its lowest daily cases of Covid in nine months as the virus continues to be suppressed.
The latest data from the Office for National Statistics shows that there were just six positive tests for the virus in the area today.
The figure is the lowest since before the second wave when on July 18 three cases were found.
The weekly total stands at 116, a fall of 47 per cent from the seven days before this.
Across the country as a whole cases are falling 32.2 per cent.
The number of people testing positive each day has fallen from the peak during the third wave which came on January 4 when 177 positive tests were found in the area.
The rate of Covid per 100,000 people in Oldham is also plummeting and now stands at 59, which is still above the UK wide figure of 32.7.
For most of last month this figure was above 100 in the town.
There were no deaths in the town today which came within 28 days of a positive test for the virus, however there have been two fatalities this week.
Across the UK there were 60 deaths today, and there have been 224 over the last seven days which is fall of 25.8 per cent.
The R rate, the rate at which one person passes the virus onto another, now stands at 0.8 and one in the north west region.
When this is above one the virus spreads exponentially, whereas below one is dies out eventually.
The figure has risen in the north west recently and had been at between 0.6 and 0.9, however despite the rise the region is still on course to suppress the virus.
The latest data shows 31,903,366 people across the UK have now had their first dose of the vaccine and 6,541,174 have had their second dose.
