The coronavirus outbreak has led to halt of daily life in most parts of the world. The governments have ordered precautionary steps which include lockdown and cancellation of any sort of public gathering.
Many major events that are held on a world wide scale have recently been cancelled because of this. The NBA league, the Premier League, tech events of Google and Microsoft are some of the examples.
It is a given that in this environment, an event like St. Patrick’s Day will obviously not be green signaled as well. However, people’s craze for this particular day has shown as some are willing to risk their health for it.
People in many parts of the world have ignored the precautions and have decided to go through with the proceedings in their own style. While some of the people have invented their own method of celebration for the day.
Here’s how people at different places have celebrated the day:
