To say that the novel coronavirus has changed the world would be an understatement. Since the virus first appeared in China’s Wuhan city on November 17, 2019, it has been exactly 397 days. The longest 397 days ever.

In a matter of weeks, pressure on the healthcare sector mounted as hospital wards began overflowing with patients experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus.
In a matter of months, the entire world went into complete lockdown and businesses were forced to shut down.

Their loss - for various reasons - added to the despair of the friends and families they left behind as the outbreak of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic upended, among several other things, our traditional ways of mourning the demise of a loved one.
