Jewish celebrities from the US have been promoting a healthier and safer mode of behavior aligned with the instructions of the World Health Organization (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 on Monday, showing how social distancing is to take effect. The two stand close together, separated by a glass door.

'When it comes to coronavirus, I have to think about who I can effect, and so should you.'
