The global Covid-19 Monument Memorial is taking shape.

The global Covid-19 Monument Memorial is taking shape. Ultimately, it will be a series of 25-foot steel structures indicative of both a dandelion and the actual Covid-19 virus. Dandelions are found worldwide, with most species having medicinal properties. The Monument is being constructed in a park in the Illinois Medical District. It is meant to honor all front line workers who served so many during the pandemic, remember those who perished from the virus and to mark the resilience of mankind.
