Search engine giant Google on Monday paid rich tributes to doctors, nurses and medical staff during this global coronavirus pandemic by a special doodle on its regular home page.

The animated Google doodle shows a heart emoji being sent to all the healthcare workers.

The doodle is a part of a series by the search giant to honour those who are working on the frontlines and fighting the pandemic.

Last week, Google released a simple and moving ad thanking healthcare workers around the world for combating COVID-19.

This week, Google began a series of Doodles to recognize the people responding to COVID-19 — from doctors and nurses caring people on the front lines, teachers and food service workers ensuring essential goods and services.
