Local restrictions were lifted in Wigan last week and are scheduled to be lifted in Bolton, Trafford and Stockport tomorrow, but remain in place across the rest of Manchester.
This looks hard to justify based on the most recent data.

I showed my Dad this dashboard so he can judge whether he wants to head out this week or stay in without having to keep a daily record of total COVID cases in his local area... yes, he does actually write down a tally so he can calculate if cases are rising or falling.
We've used the reactable #rstats package to help users dynamically explore week-on-week change in #COVID19 cases by local authority | trafforddatalab.shinyapps.io…

Credit where it's due, PHE have now published full pillars 1+2 data for all English local authorities, going back to the start of the outbreak.
Available to download from the main UK government dashboard coronavirus.data.gov.uk/#cat…

Full pillar 1+2 data is being shared w/ local public health bodies, so some health officials know what’s going on in different bits of the country, but this data is not shared with local councils, mayors, MPs, who’ve had to ask for it & wait weeks. Useless in fast-moving pandemic

The importance of analytical collaboration is clear during COVID-19. But there are a number of barriers that are preventing analysts from making use of shared resources.
Our blog outlines simple approaches to making your work easier for others to reuse.

Using 2011 Census data, we've mapped the population of England and Wales down to neighbourhood level, with a focus on older adults, those with long-term health conditions and those providing unpaid care to others.
