Today at 12 noon Italy stopped to pay tribute to all the victims of the Coronavirus, as a sign of solidarity to family members and national participation in the condolences for the communities most affected by the pandemic.
The initiative which started by the mayors in Italy has been expanded to other institutions – the Italian flag at half mast was displayed on all public buildings.
The mayors in Italy wearing the tricolour band of office were all standing in front of their town halls in silence and with the flags displayed at half-mast as a sign of mourning and a sign of solidarity with all the communities that are paying the high price of the corona virus.
