As we face the challenging global pandemic of the coronavirus, people are staying home to help prevent the spread of the outbreak. Many people are using their quarantine time to telecommute, binge-watch a series, read a book or, a new favorite, enjoy a virtual concert.
Latin music artists, such as Thalia, Chiquis and Emilia Mernes, are not only spending time at home but also adding a touch of humor to ease tension and panic. Emilio Estefan Jr., for example, went to his manicurist in a trash bag, while Chiquis dances to Bad Bunny’s “Yo Perreo Sola” as she disinfects her home.

Since its outbreak at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China, more than 1530,000 people have contracted the disease, resulting in more than 5,700 deaths according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The disease has reached more than 140 countries and 46 U.S. states.
Basic protective measures against the novel coronavirus, according to WHO, include washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer, maintaining social distancing at least three feet between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing, and avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
