Latest Updates on Salford Council's response to the COVID-19 outbreak

The main council information page on the Coronavirus is updated daily.

New national restrictions

From Monday 14 September, the government has introduced several new national restrictions. Social gatherings of more than six people are now illegal across the country. The new restrictions won’t apply to schools, workplaces, weddings, funerals and organised team sports as long as Covid-secure guidance is followed. The council website keeps information up-to-date so to check the national and local restrictions in Salford see www.salford.gov.uk

Also, from 18 September, hospitality businesses must have a system in place to collect NHS Test and Trace data, and keep this for 21 days. Any egregious breaches will result in enforcement.
