The NHS has faced unprecedented challenges during the coronavirus pandemic and is continuing to go above and beyond to treat patients and save lives.
The total number of confirmed cases in Surrey since the start of the pandemic now stands at 66,776, as of 4pm on Thursday (February 18), according to Government data.
However, it is important to note that there are many other departments working hard behind the scenes, including those which provide care for non-COVID-19 patients.
