Commemoration of over 30,000 corona deaths in New York

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – Exactly one year after the first person died in New York after a confirmed corona infection, the metropolis has thought of the more than 30,000 other deaths since then. Musicians from the New York Philharmonic performed at a live broadcast on Sunday evening (local time). Meanwhile, images of some of the dead were projected onto the pillars of the Brooklyn Bridge.

“We honor the lives of those we lost to this terrible pandemic and come together as a city to mourn, heal and look to a better future,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said before the event. The metropolis had become the center of the pandemic in the USA in spring 2020, but the infection rate has now stabilized relatively ./cah/DP/zb
