Up to a thousand homeless people across Greater Manchester will be put up in hotels to try and stop more people getting coronavirus.

A £5million funding plan announced by regional mayor Andy Burnham will help those most at risk of developing and spreading the disease - rough sleepers and people in shared accomodation.

Currently 625 rooms have already been allocated in hotels across the city-region, with the combined authority hoping to secure a further 375 by this Friday.

Food, sanitary products and dental supplies will also be provided, with mobile phones allowing those staying to contact support workers and access ‘extra emotional support’.
