After a year like this, expect a strange New Year's Eve
By JENNIFER PELTZ
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — If ever
a year's end seemed like
cause for celebration, 2020
might be it.
Yet the coronavirus
scourge that dominated
the year is also looming
over New Year's festivities
and forcing officials world-
wide to tone them down.
From New York's Times
Square to Sydney Harbor,
big public blowouts are
being turned into TV-only
shows and digital events.
Fireworks displays have
been canceled from the
Las Vegas Strip to the Arc
de Triomphe in Paris.
Even private parties in
some places are restricted.
