themanchestereveningnews--2020-05-29--Andy Burnham says he would take 'more cautious approach' on easing the lockdown

Andy Burnham says he would take a 'more cautious approach ' than the government on easing the coronavirus lockdown .
The region ’ s mayor said he believes that the NHS Test and Trace programme should be 'fully operational ' before the current restrictions are eased .
This comes after the Prime Minister announced that a number of lockdown rules in England will be lifted from Monday ( July 1 ) .
Speaking at the daily downing street press conference on Thursday , Boris Johnson confirmed that schools will reopen , some non-essential retailers can trade , and up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ changes are the most drastic since the country went into lockdown on March 23 .
The government also announced a new NHS Test and Trace system which came into force nationally yesterday .
It 's aimed at ensuring anyone with coronavirus symptoms - or anyone they have been in contact with - goes into immediate quarantine .
More than 40,000 people have been hired to set up the system , which will initially include a phone bank , but not an app as this continues to be trialled on the Isle of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local lockdowns will be a part of the test and trace system , something which Andy Burnham has strongly opposed .
On Twitter , the mayor was asked : `` Andy , where do you stand on Greater Manchester ?
It is a genuine question .
`` What are your thoughts and opinions on Greater Manchester and the North West coming out of lockdown ?
I did ask earlier .
I would be interested to hear your thoughts . ''
In his response , the mayor said : `` I would take a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` No significant loosening until Test And Trace fully operational and working properly . ''
This comes as the death toll in Greater Manchester 's hospitals reached 1,800 yesterday ( Thursday ) .
Another 50 patients were reported to have died from COVID-19 in North West hospitals , making it the the UK hotspot and by far the worst hit region .
The figures are roughly double the number of daily fatalities in the South East and Yorkshire and about a third higher than the Midlands .
Mr Burnham also shared figures published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tropical Medicine which show the estimated ' R ' infection rate by region .
The figures , which were published on on May 18 but are believed to the most up-to-date , predict that the expected change in daily COVID-19 cases is decreasing but that the ' R ' rate is at around 0.8 .
If the rate goes above 1 it means the virus is growing rather than receding .
Mr Burnham said the figures show the UK does not have a 'great deal of room for manoeuvre ' , which echoes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK remains in a 'fragile state ' .
The mayor told journalists at his weekly coronavirus briefing on Wednesday that he believes the government should not impose local lockdown but should focus on the test and trace system instead .
He has repeatedly articulated his opposition to a region-by-region lift of the lockdown , arguing that it is unworkable and unfair .
`` There ’ s just a lot of concern about how you do this in the current climate when we ’ re struggling anyway to maintain a sense of buy-in to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Wednesday .
`` So I think the government needs to tread carefully .
`` The key is fielding public confidence in testing and tracing - that is where we will , I think , make the biggest difference here .
`` If we rush into a localised lockdown policy then I think it ’ s a recipe for chaos , to be honest .
I think there has been some discussion with officers but I ’ m afraid very little , in fact no consultation at a political level between government ministers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dark as to this policy , even though it will though it will have a major impact on us . ''

These changes are the most drastic since the country went into lockdown on March 23.

The government also announced a new NHS Test and Trace system which came into force nationally yesterday. It's aimed at ensuring anyone with coronavirus symptoms - or anyone they have been in contact with - goes into immediate quarantine.
More than 40,000 people have been hired to set up the system, which will initially include a phone bank, but not an app as this continues to be trialled on the Isle of the Wight.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said local lockdowns will be a part of the test and trace system, something which Andy Burnham has strongly opposed.
On Twitter, the mayor was asked: "Andy, where do you stand on Greater Manchester? It is a genuine question.
"What are your thoughts and opinions on Greater Manchester and the North West coming out of lockdown? I did ask earlier. I would be interested to hear your thoughts."
In his response, the mayor said: "I would take a more cautious approach than the Government.
"No significant loosening until Test And Trace fully operational and working properly."
This comes as the death toll in Greater Manchester's hospitals reached 1,800 yesterday (Thursday).
Another 50 patients were reported to have died from COVID-19 in North West hospitals, making it the the UK hotspot and by far the worst hit region.
The figures are roughly double the number of daily fatalities in the South East and Yorkshire and about a third higher than the Midlands.
Mr Burnham also shared figures published by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine which show the estimated 'R' infection rate by region.
The figures, which were published on on May 18 but are believed to the most up-to-date, predict that the expected change in daily COVID-19 cases is decreasing but that the 'R' rate is at around 0.8.
If the rate goes above 1 it means the virus is growing rather than receding.
Mr Burnham said the figures show the UK does not have a 'great deal of room for manoeuvre', which echoes Sir Patrick Vallance's warning that the UK remains in a 'fragile state'.
The mayor told journalists at his weekly coronavirus briefing on Wednesday that he believes the government should not impose local lockdown but should focus on the test and trace system instead.
He has repeatedly articulated his opposition to a region-by-region lift of the lockdown, arguing that it is unworkable and unfair.
"There’s just a lot of concern about how you do this in the current climate when we’re struggling anyway to maintain a sense of buy-in to the big message," he said on Wednesday. "So I think the government needs to tread carefully.
"The key is fielding public confidence in testing and tracing - that is where we will, I think, make the biggest difference here.
"If we rush into a localised lockdown policy then I think it’s a recipe for chaos, to be honest. I think there has been some discussion with officers but I’m afraid very little, in fact no consultation at a political level between government ministers and ourselves.
"We are in the dark as to this policy, even though it will though it will have a major impact on us."

“I've seen him (Rashford) coming through the ranks, such a talented player,” Giggs told Laureus Sport.
“And you have Jadon Sancho at Dortmund, a young player who’s made the bold decision to leave Manchester City and go to another country at a young age. And he really has made a difference. His team-mate as well, Erling Haaland who’s scoring lots of goals.”

The Belgian defender made the surprise decision to leave City at the end of the 2018/19 season having led the club to another Premier League title, taking over as player-manager of Anderlecht for the 2019/20 campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s departure to Arsenal opened up a space on Guardiola’s coaching staff with reports in Belgium suggesting that Kompany could be lured back to City to work under the Catalan manager.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-05-29--Bayern Munich to offer Hernandez in Sane deal and more transfer rumours

Bayern Munich are prepared to offer talented defender Lucas Hernandez to Manchester City as part of a deal to sign Leroy Sane , according to reports .
Bayern have n't kept their desire to sign Sane a secret over the last year and drew the ire from City last summer with their overtly public pursuit of the winger that culminated in Bayern being forced to publicly deny transfer speculation in the German press , and then-manager Nico Kovac apologising for saying he was 'confident ' a deal would be done .
City refused to budge on their lofty asking price @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ligament injury in the Community Shield victory over Liverpool , the Bavarians abandoned the chase and instead signed Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Perisic .
The two signings have n't been a huge success and high-ranking Bayern officials have once again started started discussing Sane in the media , as they look to replace departed icons Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben .
City 's stance remains largely unchanged from last summer : they would like Sane to stay and there is an offer for a new contract on the table .
If there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and with only a year remaining on the 24-year-old 's current deal an exit is looking increasingly likely - there is a determination not to be forced to sell the player for significantly lower than their valuation even if that risks Sane leaving for free in 12 months time .
