A bevy of Quebec celebrities took to social media following a request from Premier François Legault for their help encouraging citizens to stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Tuesday, Legault asked for Quebec’s “young leaders,” artists, and champions to come forward and help “spread information, not the virus.”

Using the hashtag #onseprotège, local well-known athletes, artists, and personalities rallied behind Legault’s call for people to reduce non-essential travel.

Quebec confirmed its first coronavirus-related death on Wednesday and the province, at time of writing, has 94 confirmed cases.

Legault retweeted some of the celebrity endorsements and thanked them for their support.

Note: With coronavirus on the rise, Quebec Public Health is reminding individuals who attend events and large gatherings to monitor their health for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. And if you’re not feeling well, they recommend staying home at this time. Also, due to unexpected cancellations, please check the event you plan to attend is still taking place.
