Covid-19: If you’re in lockdown … clap your hands!
People stuck at home are urged clap from their balconies in support of essential workers.
PEOPLE from across Durban are urged to step out their balconies or open their windows and clap for a minute.
This is the idea of Dr Eubelus Timothy, who said there needs to be communal solidarity as we fight the Coronavirus pandemic.
“We are all used to going out on Friday night but now we must stay at home,” he said.
“We need to remember why we are staying at home; to protect our families and fight the virus. So a couple of us here in Grafton Musgrave, on Friday, are going to stick our heads out of windows clap and make a noise for a minute.”

People across the world, in lockdowns, have been standing on balconies and clapping as a way of celebrating healthcare workers.
“We need to remember those who are putting their lives on the line; essential service workers who are working so we can be safe,” said Timothy.
Timothy said if this catches on, then maybe people will come up with other fun ideas to help everyone through the lockdown.
