New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is enlisting another of the nation’s resources to help fight the spread of COVID-19: beloved celebrities.
Starting Sunday, March 22, the governor’s twitter account began posting cameos from various tri-state area celebrities pleading with New Yorkers to stay inside to protect themselves and more importantly others from the spread of coronavirus.
Ben Stiller agrees:

30 Rockefeller Plaza adopted son Alec Baldwin is also staying home and wants you to do the same.
If you won’t stay inside for yourselves or your grandmas, do it for the celebrities. Won’t someone think of the celebrities??

Even JLo and A-Rod are getting in on the action!
