Georgetown rolling out red lighting to honor health care workers during COVID-19 pandemic

GEORGETOWN, Del. – Georgetown officials say the town’s historic Circle will be joining New York’s Empire State Building and other landmarks, businesses, and homes around the world to honor health care workers battling to save lives during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Town, along with other government buildings and businesses located on The Circle, will be lit up in red every night for the foreseeable future, as a sign of solidarity, hope, and appreciation for the tens of thousands of medics, nurses, doctors, and other health care professionals working in the fight against the virus.

The Circle is a frequent focal point throughout the year for awareness “lighting” campaigns, including Autism, child abuse prevention, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, heart health, fallen firefighters, law enforcement, and veterans. The lights will be visible from sunset to sunrise each night until further notice.
