Park officials discovered this week that the memorial had been targeted by vandals.
The artist commissioned to design Scotland's national Covid memorial has condemned the"egotistic madness" of those who targeted it with"anti-vax" graffiti.
"It takes an effort of blind will to fantasise that wearing a mask is a threat, rather than an act of solidarity." Each design refers to a photograph by Hannah Laycock or Alec, of someone affected by the pandemic, including bereaved families and people with Long Covid. The artist suggested that the official policy that the pandemic is over"went hand in hand" with"bullying" directed at those who are still grieving or battling Long Covid.
