LONDON (UK) – People across Britain poured out onto their doorsteps and balconies this Thursday to clap and extend their appreciation for health workers battling the coronavirus crisis from the frontlines.
This may be the last such celebration.
Over the past 10 weeks, the ‘Clap for Carers’ initiative has been an emotional moment of solidarity for Britons who are in lockdown.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson just announced a limited easing of the lockdown and he also clapped outside his Downing Street office.
Annemarie Plas has been credited with starting this initiative in the UK and suggested that this should be the last week of clapping to end the weekly rituals on a high. There has been no official announcement of the same.
