Restrictions on Casinos, skating rinks, bowling alleys & indoor play areas will be removed across most of Greater Manchester from Tuesday with venues able to welcome customers back

The exception will be Bolton which is currently recording the highest amount of cases in the country.

Close contact facial services can also restart the Government has announced but the Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said the infection rate in Greater Manchester is too high to lift restrictions on gatherings.

Andy Burnham said: “We have been asking the Government to consider easing restrictions on business opening across Greater Manchester and welcome the Secretary of State’s positive announcement today. There is no evidence that these businesses are causing the spread of the virus and we know that these premises are making arrangements to operate in a safe way.

“It is understandable that this won’t apply in Bolton for the time being, but we will be working hard with Bolton Council and partners to move to a position where the restrictions on business opening can be eased as soon as possible.

“However, it is important people continue to follow the rules on no social gatherings in the home and the public health advice on washing hands, face coverings and social distancing.”
