On National COVID-19 Day, let's come together (while socially distancing) to honor and remember those affected by the pandemic and show our support for frontline workers.
On March 11, we come together to recognize and honor National COVID-19 Day. This day may not be as lighthearted as other holidays, but it serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of humanity in the face of adversity. It was on this date in 2020 that the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, forever changing our lives and the world around us. While we continue to navigate through these challenging times, let's also take a moment to celebrate how far we've come and support each other in moving forward towards a healthier and happier future.
