Premier François Legault appealed to Quebec personalities on Tuesday to help spread the word among youth about the importance of social distancing.
Legualt reached out to social influencers, artists, comedians, actors and athletes as the confirmed number of COVID-19 cases in the province climbed to 74 Tuesday afternoon.
During a press conference in Quebec City, Legault urged young people to stay home to help limit the spread of the disease. He pointed to countries such as Italy and Korea, where young people contributed significantly to the spread of the illness.
Quebec personalities were quick to heed the call. Singer-songwriter Coeur de Pirate took to Twitter, posting a humorous song with a serious message.
