The travel ban between Scotland and Manchester will be lifted on Wednesday June 30 after it was introduced last week. 

The ban on travel between Scotland and Manchester sparked a fierce political row between Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. 

It was initially introduced amid concerns over the rates of Covid-19 in the English region, with the infection rate in Scotland reaching an all-time high in recent days.
