Abbey Road zebra crossing repainted now there's nobody there crossing it due to corona

The world-famous Abbey Road zebra crossing has been repainted while the streets of London are empty because of the quarantine set forth due to coronavirus pandemic, Insider reports. The zebra made famous by the Beatles was quietly repainted on 24 March by a highways maintenance crew, the day after the UK prime minister ordered Britain to go on lockdown. The government designated the crossing a site of national importance in 2010, which means the crossing can be altered only with the approval of local authorities. Abbey Road Studios, just down the road from the iconic zebra, closed their doors for the first time in their 89-year history earlier this week to limit the spread of COVID-19.
