Clap for Carers is set to return to Scotland this week to give thanks to those working tirelessly against coronavirus. The new weekly round of applause for those working on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic has been called Clap for Heroes.
During the first lockdown in 2020 residents across the UK took to their windows and front doors every Thursday at 8pm. Our sister title The Mirror report that the event, which ran weekly for 10 weeks, is now set to return on the same day.
Original organiser Annemarie Plas, who came up with the weekly ritual tweeted that the tradition would be returning as Clap for Heroes.Annemarie said: "We are bringing back the 8pm applause."I hope it can lift the spirit, of all of us.
