Justin Trudeau starts Twitter chain letter to get Canadians to stay home
As an increasing number of countries enter lockdown and social distancing conditions to help ease the spread of coronavirus, more and more celebrities have been weighing in on social media.
Some of their messages have been quirky and informative, while others have been amusing. Some have gone down well, others less so.
The latest effort comes from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is currently self-isolating after his wife, Sophie, tested positive for coronavirus. On Monday, Trudeau shared a video of himself talking about the measures people can take to ease the spread.
"Help spread the word with your own video," he wrote, "and tag your friends to remind them to stay home too."

The video was posted shortly after Trudeau's latest press conference, in which he told Canadians to observe social distancing practices, hinting that greater measures could be taken if people don't "go home and stay home."
Trudeau used the hashtags #PlankTheCurve and #StayAtHomeSaveLives, tagging fellow Canadians Ryan Reynolds and Michael Buble to help him share the message.

"During times of crisis, we all know it's the celebrities we count on most," Reynolds says. "They're the ones who're gonna get us through this. Right after healthcare workers, of course...first responders, people working essential services, er, ping pong players...mannequins...um, childhood imaginary friends...like, 400 other types of people...look, stay at home! Practice social distancing, wash your hands.
"We are gonna get through this thing. We're gonna get through this thing together."
Reynolds went on to tag some more celebrities, including an impressively hairy Seth Rogen, who tagged the likes of Shawn Mendes and Lilly Singh, also fellow Canadians.

Looks like there are going to be more videos where those came from, whether it sticks to Canadian celebrities or not.
COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, has now infected around 335,000 people worldwide. Over 14,600 people have died.
