bigjarofwasps Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) There appears to be a steady flow of Covid Medals that are beginning to be issued around the world. To that end have created this thread so as to keep them all in one place. Johor Eire United States of America Ukraine Russia Italy Australia Spain India has issued one as well, but as yet I’ve been unable to find a picture of one.

ÖSTA Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Operational Medal and Certificate of the Austrian Albert Schweitzer Society with Covid-19 Bar/Clasp (Österreichische Albert Schweitzer Gesellschaft - ÖASG Einsatzmedaille mit Covid-19 Spange) Ribbon 40mm. Medal Ø 34mm Name on Cert. Blanked out Edited December 10, 2020 by ÖSTA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÖSTA Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) The medal is issued in one of three styles of 'Ribboning' - Austrian, Bow & 'International'. The medals illustrated here are, I believe, an earlier striking - The Medal eyelet (Öse) is different to the current example above. This award has also been issued with Clasps for other areas of operation - "FLUT 2013" (Flood Assistance 2013) and "RUMÄNIEN" (Romania).

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I would support an award for the law and order people who round up the "No Vaxxers" and bring them to the airport, ditto for the air crews who carry out what the French army called "Crevette Bigeard"... would also be a really collectable medal when this is all over...

JensF. Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I am on active duty the second time this year to support the Bundeswehr Corona Task Force. I wonder if we will really get a medal for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
