St. Johns County reported its first death from COVID-19 in March 2020, a 52-year-old man.
Now, a year later, the pandemic has led to more than 20,000 reported COVID-19 cases in the county, including non-residents, and has had widespread effects in the community beyond illness and death. People lost their jobs. Businesses shut down. Elderly residents became even more isolated. Families had to grapple with new dynamics.
But some people didn t make it home, and many St. Johns County residents are mourning the loss of their loved ones.
