Norfolk has never looked quite like this.

Over the last few months, the coronavirus outbreak has changed every aspect of life. Shops have closed, roads have been left empty and some families have been unable to see and hug one another.
We’ve seen bare beaches, silent streets and public events postponed with the vast majority of people following social distancing guidelines and staying home.
Even now that some lockdown restrictions are being eased, life is far from returning to normal.
And through it all, our priceless key workers and frontline staff have been working tirelessly to keep the county running and to keep us safe.
