Information about the coronavirus pandemic is rapidly changing and Diply is committed to providing the most recent data as it becomes available. Some of the information in this story may have changed since publication, and we encourage readers to use online resources from CDC and WHO to stay up to date on the latest information surrounding COVID-19.

The list of health care professionals who reached out to Ellen included New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office. Ellen, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey on the beloved medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" has been asked to post a video to her Insta account, begging her followers not to go outside unless it's essential.

SOCIAL DISTANCING IS KEY!

"The health care professionals, the doctors, the nurses, anyone who works in a hospital, they're at their wits end and now they're starting to die," Ellen said.

"We're not doing enough. Everybody, just please stay home."

"And if you know someone who is not taking this seriously and who isn't staying home, please talk to them. We have to stay home. It’s all they're asking us to do. It’s not that hard."

We couldn't agree more, Ellen!

STAY HOME, PEOPLE!
