On the subject: Coronavirus Remembrance Day appointed in New York

“COVID-19 has been a devastating disaster for our entire country and, unfortunately, has affected MTA personnel as well,” said MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick Foy, commenting on the event. “We've taken care of those families who have lost an MTA employee to COVID, but the launch of today's memorial aims to personalize the legacy of those who died during the pandemic.”

If you want to see the memorial, but cannot travel to the desired station, the video can be watched from home.

Among the dead, whose photos were used in the memorial, there is also a Russian-speaking immigrant - Lev Golubov, wagon inspector.

According to a post on TWU Local 100 Facebook page, Golubov passed away on April 5, 2020 after being hospitalized with COVID-19 on March 24. He was 58 years old. He is survived by his wife Larisa and 15-year-old daughter Josephine.
