Amid virus, Nicaragua forgoes celebration, unveils monument

Workers ready a new monument, called the Peace Bell, before its inauguration ceremony later in the day in Managua, Nicaragua, Friday, July 17, 2020. Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's government is being deterred by the new coronavirus from holding the usual mass celebration to mark the victory of the country's revolution July 19, and will instead unveil a new addition to its collection of monuments.
