This year’s Earth Hour, however, has been marred by the grim coronavirus pandemic, whic is why all public events have been cancelled as precautionary measures.

As of Saturday, the number of coronavirus cases worldwide has surpassed 600,000 with the US topping the list at more than 100,000 confirmed cases. Italy currently still holds the top spot in terms of fatalities with 9,000 lethal cases.
