Google Doodle Honoring Workers as Heroes

Description (Dublin Core)

Throughout the pandemic, those who were quarantined at home for their own safety were served by workers in many fields. They were putting themselves in harm's way every day to make sure there was food in the grocery stores, to keep the mass transit running, to cook for us, to care for our health, to keep up our yards, to keep the banks open, to deliver to us, to advance science and work for vaccines and cures. The police and firefighters were also working around the clock for us.
At first, until studies were done about the need for masks and gloves, none of these workers were protected at all. Health car workers had to work without adequate protective equipment. Many grocery workers and police were infected with COVID-19, and many died because they were doing their duty. Heroes.
