More than 500 of Greater Manchester's homeless have been placed in hotels in the week since a £5 million coronavirus emergency plan was announced.
Up to a thousand hotel rooms across the city-regionhave been freed up in a move mayor Andy Burnham hopes will create a ‘positive legacy’ out of the coronavirus crisis.
Rough sleepers, and those staying in shared accommodation, are among the most at risk at contracting and spreading the disease, and it is hoped that 'everyone' will be in accommodatio Mr Burnham said there had been no further resistance to the plan since criticising Britannia Hotel in Manchester for evicting homeless people that were supposed to stay there last month.
