FALLS in Cheshire West’s infection rate are ‘fantastic’ but ‘more progress’ needs to be made.
That’s according to two senior council officials, speaking at a meeting of the authority’s Covid-19 outbreak board yesterday (March 10).
CWAC’s current rolling seven-day infection rate is 60.6 cases per 100,000 residents — down by 90 per cent since its early-January peak.
Ian Ashworth, CWAC’s Director of Public Health, said: “We have seen a 30 per cent reduction in the previous week with infection rates which is fantastic — it’s great to see that.
