UK Landmarks in Blue to Support its NHS Staff Battling Coronavirus

Published March 29th, 2020 - 05:26 GMT

UK has colored its most famous landmarks in blue on Thursday night, 26th March, to support National Health Service (NHS) staff helping treat coronavirus patients.

Britain's PM Boris Johnson has tested positive for COVID-19 as well as a number of his ministers as people killed by the virus rises to 1,019, with a further 260 deaths announced, Saturday.

Moreover, all famous venues and attractions such as the London Eye, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, the Royal Albert Hall, the Shard and Wembley Stadium in the capital, and Lincoln Cathedral were turned blue to salute the efforts of healthcare workers.

 The campaign was organised by Gary White and Chuck Crampton on behalf of the entertainment industry.
