It handed out 116 of them over the weekend, about a third of them to students amid efforts to quell the second wave of the disease. But new 'Tier 2' rules, when they come into force in Greater Manchester tomorrow (Wednesday), will actually see a slight easing of restrictions in Greater Manchester, with up to six people being allowed to meet in gardens as long as they remain socially distanced. Under the old rules which expire tonight, people in Greater Manchester weren't allowed guests in their garden unless they were from their 'support bubble'. Chief Constable Ian Hopkins told the M.E.N: "The restrictions have changed, or will change on Wednesday, for Greater Manchester, that change being that you are allowed to meet in your garden with up to six people, socially distanced."

It means the force has now handed out 510 fines since lockdown was announced on March 23, 316 of them during that original lockdown period.
