Google Doodle thanks COVID-19 healthcare workers

On the occasion of World Immunisation Week Google shared a doodle to express gratitude towards health workers and scientific researchers people who have been combating the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on the forefront.

The 'G' in Google sent out a heart to 'e' which has been doodleized to feature a person from the scientific community standing on a podium with some visualizations in the background signifying research.

Google on its website wrote:

''As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, people are coming together to help one another now more than ever. Over the coming weeks, we're launching a Doodle series to recognize and honor many of those on the front lines. Today, we'd like to say: To all the public health workers and to researchers in the scientific community, thank you.''

Google has been repeatedly posting on Twitter and writing on the website about Covid-19 guidelines to stay safe:

Wear a mask. Save lives.
Wear a face cover
Wash your hands
Keep a safe distance

Last year, one of the Google Doodles was made to appreciate the efforts of the frontline workers who toiled hard during the peak months of the pandemic in fighting the virus as well as making sure we were taken care of in the best way possible.
