(AP Photo/Petr David Josek)NEW YORK – Like many other events, an annual John Lennon tribute concert that takes place in his adopted city of New York on his Oct. 9 birthday has been forced online because of the coronavirus pandemic. Raiola and other friends began their informal tribute to Lennon in 1981, less than a year after the former Beatle was shot to death.

The Health Ministry also Monday reported 1,130 deaths in the past 24 hours, taking the total reported fatalities to 87,882. To offset the economic crisis, the government has been relaxing virus restrictions despite the surging cases. Wearing masks is compulsory, and thermal screening and physical distancing are among other virus restrictions being used. The government is attempting to stem a rising number of coronavirus cases that began last month with an outbreak in the western state of Rakhine.
