Resident and former councillor Carole Hopkins, who has been isolating with husband Roger since March, has now been advised to remain in isolation until Easter.
“I feel upset to see the cases go up and you do wonder when it will end, it’s another few months shielding for us now,” she said.
“When you live in a village like this and you see those cases going up, you don’t look at them as numbers. They’re people – potentially very poorly people, and it’s awful to think of them struggling.”
On spending almost a year in isolation, she said: “It’s been a difficult year – as it has been for many people here. But living here has brought me a tremendous amount of joy – even now.
