Four-hundred lights around the Lincoln Memorial s reflecting pool were lit Tuesday evening to honor the 400,000 people in the U.S. who have died from COVID-19.
President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris both spoke.
Other cities across the country are making their own tributes on Tuesday to those lost to COVID-19. The Empire State Building in New York and the Space Needle in Seattle are among the buildings being lit.
In September, volunteers placed 20,000 flags on the National Mall when the death toll crossed 200,000. Other memorials have popped up around the country, from roadside drive-bys to people s front lawns.
President-elect Joe Biden is planning a lighting ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to honor those killed by the coronavirus the day before he is sworn into office on Jan. 20.
