              Giuseppe Verdi jazz orchestra musicians and singers play their instruments behind a transparent panel to curb the spread of COVID-19 during a rehearsal at the Giuseppe Verdi Music Conservatory, in Milan, Italy, Friday, May 7, 2021. Whatever the instrument, flute, violin or drums, students at Italy's oldest and largest music conservatory have been playing behind plexiglass screens during much of the pandemic as the Conservatory found ways to preserve instruction throughout Italy’s many rolling lockdowns.
