Memorials for the COVID-19 pandemic

Several permanent and temporary memorials for the global COVID-19 pandemic have been built. The pandemic started in 2019, and has caused the deaths of several million people worldwide.

London
The National Covid Memorial Wall is a wall in London, along the South Bank of the River Thames. Started in March 2021, it stretches for over 500 metres and is filled with over 150,000 red hearts hand-painted by volunteers. Each heart represents a person who died with COVID-19 on their death certificate.

The COVID-19 Memorial Woodland is a part of Hornchurch Country Park in the London Borough of Havering, England. It has over 4,000 trees, and opened on the country's National Day of Reflection, marking two years since the first UK lockdown. Also in London, is the London Blossom Garden in the London Borough of Newham, near London Stadium. It has 33 blossom trees arranged in three circles to represent the 33 boroughs of London. This type of tree was decided upon because they blossom in March—the month that the first lockdowns began.

Temporary
In America: Remember was a temporary art installation in the National Mall in Washington, D.C. from 17 September to 3 October 2021. It had one small white flag placed in the mall for every American who died as a result of COVID-19. At the start of the display, it had 600,000 flags, and by the end of it, 701,133.

Planned and proposed
The Essential Workers Monument is a proposed monument in New York City to commemorate key workers during the pandemic. Skyway Park, a park currently being developed in Jersey City, New Jersey, will have a COVID-19 memorial.
