"As we honour and support the heroic efforts of community health workers, One World: Together At Home aims to serve as a source of unity and encouragement in the global fight to end Covid-19. Through music, entertainment and impact, the global live-cast will celebrate those who risk their own health to safeguard everyone else's," Global Citizen chief executive Hugh Evan said in a statement.
Earlier this month, TimesLIVE launched United Apart SA, encouraging citizens to share videos, voice notes and messages of their activities during the lockdown.
Entries have been coming in, showing that while we are apart, in a world intricately connected by technology and social media, we’re truly in this together.
