Manchester declares “serious incident” the rebound in coronavirus cases

With four days to go match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, Authorities in the Manchester region have declared what they call “a serious incident r” the increase in covid infections in recent weeks.

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), which is made up of the municipalities of the Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan areas, warn that last week's restrictive measures remain the same but have been declared as serious incident to “facilitate public authorities access to the additional resources they need to control the pandemic as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said a GMCA spokesperson who collects bbc.com.

Richard Leese, lleader of the Manchester City Council, urged residents to remain calm. “People should not be alarmed that a major incident has been declared,” said Sir Richard. The politician called the measure “standard practice for complex situations” and said it would allow the creation of a “central command structure” to allow agencies “to take advantage of additional resources.”

Real Madrid continues with its plans to travel to Manchester this Thursday where on Friday he faces Manchester City on the return leg of the knockout stage of the Champions League.
