A devastating fire burnt through France's most iconic cathedral on the 15th of April last year. Notre Dame's roof fell in, its spire burnt to the ground, weakening its foundation. With the Covid-19 outbreak, restoration work has been put on hold since March 16. Scaffolding that melted during the fire and is currently putting pressure on the building's foundations was supposed to be removed. Now, that work will have to wait. Authorities maintain that the 2024 deadline to reopen the historic building still holds. On April 10 the cathedral even organised a closed-door service for Good Friday celebrations. Seven people attended the event that was also broadcast on TV and online.
