WHO's 'One World: Together At Home' live event

For the past few months, the world has been seeing a dramatic rise in Coronavirus cases and governments have tried to contain the virus. Now, countries have gone into lockdown including India, as the virus doesn't have a cure yet, and the best bet one has against it is to stay home and practice social distancing. 

Celebrities have been trying to do their bit, as the entertainment industry has been seriously impacted by the pandemic. Many celebrities have made generous contributions to government and non-governmental organisations in battling coronavirus. The WHO has now called celebrities to come together to spread a message of positivity and promote solidarity in a united fight against the virus.

Since nobody is allowed to step out, the organisation is bringing people together through art. In association with Global Citizen, a live event, 'One World: Together At Home' is being organised, which will feature some of the biggest names from around the world, who will perform for audiences to raise funds for the fight against Coronavirus and support health workers around the world working to seeing us through the crisis. 

Numerous international celebrities to perform at WHO's event

The list includes Lady Gaga, Elton John, John Legend, David Beckham, Idris Elba, Paul McCartney, and Stevie Wonder to name a few. The event is being hosted by popular late-night show hosts, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert. The WHO event will be live-streamed on the 18th of April.
