Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have donated $400,000 (£324,000) to four New York hospitals dealing with the coronavirus. The Hollywood couple gave $100,000 (£81,073) personal cheques to NYU Langone Medical Center, Mount Sinai Hospital, Northern Westchester Hospital, and Elmhurst Hospital, according to TMZ.
New York is considered to be the epicentre of the Covid-19 virus in the United States, with hospitals and medical centres in the state struggling to cope with the constant influx of new cases.
A source added that Ryan and Blake are keen to “encourage folks across America to help their local hospitals, healthcare workers and communities during this difficult time”.
