On Monday 19th October, Labour MP for Bolton South East was admitted to the Royal Bolton Hospital after reportedly suffering from pneumonia.
Yasmin Qureshi and her family were in self-isolation for two weeks at home after the shadow started showing symptoms of coronavirus and has not travelled ever since. Reports of her admission appear amid a continuing stand-off between local leaders and the government about putting Greater Manchester into Tier 3 - England's highest coronavirus alert level. Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has consistently and fervently resisted the Tier-3 lockdown strategy demanding greater financial support for workers and businesses who would be hit as a result.
