Every day we are reminded of the devastation left in the wake of coronavirus. As the death toll reaches nearly 900 in Greater Manchester, it's vital to remember there is person behind every figure.
They are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, friends and colleagues. By now, many of us will know someone whose life has been affected, or cut short by this terrible disease.
At the Manchester Evening News , we have vowed to pay tribute to every COVID-19 victim that we can in our region. Over the weekend, we carried a tribute from scores of families, wanting to remember special people who they had lost to coronavirus.
