The coronavirus has killed more than 23,000 New Yorkers so far. But their loss is incalculable. This is a space to remember and honor every person who died — who they were and what they meant to this city.
Below are the New Yorkers whose stories we’ve found so far (you can view our methodology below). This memorial has 1,308 of the 23,278 confirmed and probable deaths. That’s 5.6%.
We have a long way to go to remember everyone. The names and photographs you see here represent just a small portion of the New Yorkers who have died. Obituary pages are missing names and stories, especially among members of the city’s black and Latino communities, which have been impacted at disproportionately high rates.
We need your help to tell the story of every New Yorker whose life was cut short because of the coronavirus.
If you’ve lost someone due to the coronavirus and would like them memorialized, we want to talk to you.
