Coronavirus Northern Ireland: City Hall lighting up in support of NHS staff

Belfast City Hall will be illuminated in blue tomorrow night in support of NHS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Albert Clock will also be lit up blue on Thursday evening in a "small but important gesture," says Lord Mayor of Belfast Daniel Baker.

Councillor Baker said it's an opportunity to show our gratitude to the NHS Heroes.

He said: "I am delighted that we are going to be lighting up City Hall and the Albert Clock blue on Thursday night to show support for our NHS staff. It’s a small but important gesture; an opportunity to show these amazing workers how grateful we are for them, as they battle to keep us and our loved ones safe.

"I know I speak for everyone when I say how proud we are of all those health and care workers who are working round the clock in very challenging conditions. On behalf of the city I want to say thank you.

"And if anyone is wondering what they can do to support our NHS staff at this critical time, the message is very simple – stay at home.

"It is vitally important that we all follow the public health advice to observe social distancing and not go out unless you really have to. I would appeal to everyone – please listen and please do your bit to help us prevent the spread of this virus."
