Thousands of people celebrated the end of coronavirus in the city of Prague on Tuesday.

The World Health Company (WHO) warned today that the pandemic was not even near being over, however in the Czech Republic, a celebration has actually been held to offer the coronavirus a “symbolic farewell”.

Countless visitors sat at a 500 metre-long (1640 ft) table on the Charles Bridge in Prague on Tuesday sharing food and beverages they had brought from home.

Visitors were encouraged to show their neighbours and there was no social distancing, something people in countries under lockdown will discover difficult to associate with.

There have been fewer than 12,000 infections in the Czech Republic, a country of 10 million. About 350 individuals have actually passed away.

The event’s organiser stated the event was possible due to a lack of tourists in the notoriously captivating city.
