Jewish celebrities encourage public to keep distance amid coronavirus

Jewish celebrities from the US have been promoting a healthier and safer mode of behaviour aligned with the instructions of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in light of the coronavirus outbreak.

Max Brooks, author of the book World War Z and son of famed comedian, actor and director Mel Brooks released a video with his father, showing how social distancing is to take effect.

The two stand close together, separated by a glass door. “If I get the coronavirus, I’ll probably be okay, but if I give it to him, he could give it to Carl Reiner, who could give it to Dick Van Dyke, and before I know it, I’ve wiped out a whole generation of comedic legends,” Max explains in the short clip. “When it comes to coronavirus, I have to think about who I can effect, and so should you.”

The article has various messages and videos showing how important it is to keep distance and stay safe. For all of us.
