Noon on Fridays is Friday Ovation – Clapping for Our Frontline Workers (as of 5/7/2020)

Currently, those working on the frontlines in the battle against COVID-19, including health and welfare workers, risk infection every single day to make sure we are safe.

To show our appreciation of these frontline workers, the City of Hiroshima will take part in a weekly initiative called Friday Ovation: every Friday at noon, Hiroshima municipal employees will stand and applaud our COVID-19 frontline workers.  

As we start this initiative, we would like to call on the prefectural government, as well as municipalities across Hiroshima Prefecture and the Hiroshima Regional Urban Area, to join us.

To any and all citizens and private enterprises that support this initiative, join us every Friday at noon as we applaud to show our appreciation of frontline workers!
