THE coronavirus pandemic has drawn us together, with members of the public giving a helping hand to those they don’t know and others going the extra mile to look after those who need help.

The Press is saluting those who sometimes do not get the credit they deserve and who have been nominated by family, friends, acquaintances or fans who appreciate what they have done to stem the Covid-19 crisis.
