A street performer’s soothing jazz version of Whitney Houston’s Saving All My Love for You could be heard floating through a nearly deserted French Quarter in New Orleans on the evening of March 25, footage posted to Instagram shows.

The legendarily busy district has seen a dearth of visitors as New Orleans locks down to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has hit the city hard with 997 cases, according to reports.

As of March 27, Louisiana was facing 2,746 cases of COVID-19, with 119 deaths due to the virus, according to local media.
