Lights to shine in Rehoboth Beach in acknowledgement of those lost to COVID-19 

As a memorial to remember and honor the lives lost to COVID-19, the City of Rehoboth Beach will join with cities and towns across the country tonight, Jan. 19, with special lighting of Rehoboth Beach City Hall.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee has invited cities and towns around the country to join Washington, D.C. in illuminating buildings and ringing church bells at 5:30 p.m. in a national moment of unity and remembrance. Exterior lights at City Hall will glow in an amber color for this memorial.

More than 399,000 people have died in the United States since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.
