Sirens and horns ring out as China pauses to remember coronavirus victims

A day of remembrance has been held in China to honour those who have died of coronavirus. People have paused for three minutes to remember the patients and medical workers who died in the coronavirus outbreak. Citizens stood still, while cars, trains and ships sounded their horns, and air-raid sirens rang out in memory of the more than 3,000 lives lost. The Qingming festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, is usually a time when people visit the graves of friends and family.
