In Paris, New York, Moscow and even Dubai, emblematic monuments around the world lit up on Saturday evening in tribute to caregivers and all those who are on the front line in the fight against the coronavirus.
In Paris, the Eiffel Tower sparkled from 8:30 p.m. The Montparnasse tower, meanwhile, lit up in red to symbolize "a beating heart".
This global event closed the #HeroesShineBright movement, launched by the Empire State Building on April 24 to honor the work of hospital staff.
To date, the Covid-19 epidemic has killed more than 240,000 people worldwide.
