COVID-MARKLEY-PREGNANT-ULTRASOUND-1 — In late May, a very pregnant and COVID-19 survivor Veronica Markley, center, and her husband Kyle, visited Presbyterian St. Lukes in Denver for a regularly scheduled ultrasound exam. A routine event, except that everyone’s in face masks and wearing latex gloves. Sonographer Jenna Pongo performed the ultrasound while nurse practitioner Debora Bellesheim watches the overhead monitor. In the midst of the pandemic, with infections and deaths starting to soar, Veronica gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Luna.

It was the year when news never stopped — and it felt like one day bled right into the next. Whether you worked in news, lived the news or checked it every day (and maybe took a few breaks here and there) it was an unprecedented time that we all experienced. Here are the 2020 photos that feel most memorable from CPR News and Denverite photographers and reporters.

January
