Germany: Musicians play for visitors lined up to meet their families in hospital

Amid the unprecedented outbreak of deadly coronavirus, millions are confined to their homes due to nationwide lockdown to curb the further spread of COVID-19 disease. However, a kind gesture by musicians in Germany has been making several rounds on the internet. As life is slowly coming back to normalcy in some parts of the world, visitors who were unable to meet their friends or family in the hospital due to government-imposed restrictions were seen lined outside München Klinik in Germany. In a bid to make the meeting “very special”, members from Abaco Orchestra played instruments outside the premises and mark the day and raise the spirits of people. 

According to the Twitter post by München Klinik, people were able to visit their family members “for the first time in a long time” and to accompany it with a “nice gesture”, the musicians played to give both the citizens and medical professionals “hope again”. In the short 44-second clip, the musicians can be seen wearing masks and playing their instruments while their audience consisted of several meter-long-queue of visitors outside the clinic in Munich. Many internet users lauded the video in German and called it “beautiful”. Here's the video.
