It's two years to the day since the first COVID-19 patient was treated in North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust's hospitals.
The trust, which is made up of Hinchingbrooke, Peterborough City and Stamford and Rutland hospitals, has admitted almost 5,000 Covid positive cases since March 16, 2020.
Of that number, 959 people died in care with Covid-19 recorded on their death certificate, with almost 4,000 patients being discharged home.
The data comes from a social media post made by North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust in a message thanking "everyone who has shown us support during such a difficult and unprecedented year".
The statistics show that, over the last two years, the highest number of Covid patients in the trust's hospitals at one time reached 372 in January 2021.
One patient remained in hospital due to Covid-19 for 186 days - the longest of any Covid patient's stay.
