The number of patients in hospital in Hampshire with Covid is at its lowest level since October, NHS data has revealed.
At 8am on March 4, there were 38 people in Basingstoke, Andover or Winchester hospitals that have tested positive for Covid-19.
It has not been that low since October 22, before the second lockdown was announced on Halloween.
The data shows that the number of people in hospital with Covid is at its lowest level since October.
It comes as lockdown restrictions in England start to ease, with people set to be allowed to meet friends outdoors - abiding by the rule of six or two households - by the end of the month.
The statistics released by the NHS, which cover the period to March 4, 2021, also reveal the true scale of Hampshire's third spike.
At its peak, 249 people were being treated at HHFT, which runs the three hospitals in the north and mid of the county, compared to 148 during the first peak.
This third spike was felt between January 24-26.
