On this day last year, the first Hampshire resident tested positive for Covid-19. Now, the county has seen 88,258 cases since the start of the pandemic - around 6.41 per cent of the county's population - and a further 1,819 deaths. Councillor Barry Rickman, New Forest District Council Leader, said: "This calendar reminder marks twelve months of our community working together like never before to ensure those that need help receive it, and that the most vulnerable are looked after. Be that by offering to get shopping, checking in on loved ones, or giving transport help to medical appointments. "They say people come together in a crisis and whilst this is certainly true, I believe that your strong community spirit was already well established – and this enduring care for each other and the place we all call home has gone a long way in making sure we rise to this unwelcome challenge.
