“Property Brothers” star Jonathan Scott and Zooey Deschanel shared a video message with fans calling for them to self-isolate to help stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Both stars shared the same video on their respective Instagram accounts in which they sit on a couch looking directly into the camera for an “honest conversation” about how their viewers can curtail the spread of the coronavirus.

So, we’re just asking you for one thing.”
WHAT COUNTRIES HAVE NOT DECLARED ANY KNOWN CASES OF CORONAVIRUS?
“Stay home” the actress adds.

“Avoid touching things and please wash your hands very carefully,” she interjects again.
Scott goes on to note that the CDC has said that the virus can be contained if everyone does their part to practice social distancing to “flatten the curve.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“So please, please, please stay home,” he notes.
“Stay home,” Deschanel concludes. “And take care of yourselves.”
Scott and Deschanel were first romantically linked when the pair were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Silver Lake, Calif., in early September 2019.
