REMEMBERING THE NEW YORKERS WE'VE LOST TO COVID-19
The coronavirus has killed more than 40,000 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 2,631 of the 40,132 confirmed and probable deaths. That’s 6.6%.
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.
The MISSING THEM team finally got THE CITY to sign off on a legal release
for archiving of the oral history interview in April 2022.
The interview told by Daniela Gutierrez about Julio Barrios, and
the interview told by Ruth Ottman about David Strug will be archived in THE CITY.
