It's the pandemic spread all across the globe that's sadly killed more than 6,500 worldwide.
Celebs have even joined the fight to contain the virus, as some have used their platform to advocate for proper safety precautions.

For instance, Lady Gaga took to Instagram on Sunday to stress the importance of self-quarantining during this difficult time.
"So I talked to some doctors and scientists. It’s not the easiest for everyone right now but the kindest/healthiest thing we can do is self-quarantine and not hang out with people over 65 and in large groups," the "Stupid Love" singer wrote.

"I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it’s much safer to not so I don’t get them sick in case I have it. I’m hanging at home with my dogs. I love you world, we’ll all get through this. Trust me, I talked to God —she said we’re gonna be ok."
Model Emily Ratajkowski also did her part to encourage her followers to stay home and practice "social distancing."

“Hi folks. Please stay home for the next couple weeks if you are able to and practice social distancing,” she captioned this picture of herself.
Even Ariana Grande has used her voice to debunk some rumors about covid-19.

"'well some of us have to work!' i understand and entirely support your frustration. i do not mean to disrespect anyone who doesn’t have the privilege of cancelled work or being able to call out of their work. but, this is a national emergency and a pandemic of global proportion," she added, along with several additional follow-up tweets.
Now, even Arnold Schwarzenegger has gotten involved.

On Sunday, the actor and former governor of California spread the word about the importance of staying at home.
He did so in the most adorable way possible: with his pet donkey and pony!

He captioned his post as, "Stay at home as much as possible. Listen to the experts, ignore the morons (foreheads). We will get through this together."
"See, the important thing is that you stay at home, because there's a curfew now. No one is allowed out," he began as he casually fed Lulu and Whiskey.

"Especially someone who is, like, 72 years old," he said, referring to himself.
Since the virus has affected older people more so than kids and adults, this puts the actor in the risk group.
"After you are 65, you are not allowed out of the house anymore in California. So we stay home and we eat here."

Seeing Arnold feed his pet donkey and pony is exactly what we needed to brighten our day during this dark time.
When talking about himself and his furry friends, the "Terminator" star said, "We don't go out, we don't go to restaurants, we don't do anything like that anymore here."

He also encouraged his followers to do the same by avoiding restaurants, public gatherings, and gyms.
He called them "out the window."
Thankfully, the animals are there to keep the family entertained.

"Look at that beautiful smile she has," he said, gesturing to Lulu.
He even embraced them in the cutest way possible. "Look at this picture here," he laughed.
Arnold's post was the bright spot that fans needed amongst all this chaos.
"What a great public message with 2 adorable beauties!! Stay safe!!" wrote this user.
"I don't believe you, Governor. We're gonna need to see more of these videos to be convinced," added another.
It's even led to amazing jokes like this:
His famous accent has given fans lots to joke about:
"Get to dah CRAPPAH!!" cracked this user.
Most were simply enamoured by the wild animals in the house:
"Oh sure when you have miniature horses inside the house its okay but when I do it I get threatened with divorce," someone else tweeted.
Humor and animal cuteness aside, Arnold's message is an important one.
It's recommended that you stay home and practice social distancing.
And if not, well, The Terminator might just get you!
