Bells to mark anniversary of first Covid-related death

The Czech Bishops' Conference (CBK) joins the Moment of Silence initiative and will ring the bells to mark one year since the first coronavirus-related death and commemorate the Covid-19 victims at noon on March 22, CBK spokeswoman Monika Klimentova told CTK. Since the first Covid patient died in a Czech hospital, there have been over 20,000 coronavirus related fatalities in the Czech Republic. "We encourage people to take part in a joint moment of silence at noon on Monday, March 22," the initiative wrote.
