• In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, Today show star Hoda Kotb shared a powerful quote about "helping others" on Instagram.

• Today show fans appreciated Hoda's thoughtful message.

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have several recommendations for how we can protect ourselves and care for those around us.

Today show star Hoda Kotb never ceases to inspire fans with a powerful message. In the wake of the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus, Hoda shared a gentle reminder with fans about looking after one another during this difficult time.

“Let’s help each other out. Happy Thursday xoxo,” Hoda captioned an Instagram post quoting American-Polish model Joanna Krupa: “Helping others is the key duty for everyone on this Earth who is remotely capable to do so.”

“Great advice! Thanks for you[r] joy and positivity Hoda. ❤️🙏,” one person wrote in response to the post. “Thank you Hoda. Love how you think. 👏💛,” another added. “You are such an inspiring person Hoda ...” a different fan commented on Twitter.

While it's undoubtedly important to be supportive during this time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does recommend avoiding close contact with people who are sick and distancing yourself from other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is particularly important for people who have serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease, as well as older adults, who are among the highest-risk groups for contracting COVID-19.

Remember, there are lots of ways you can help, including donating to organizations aiding those who have been hit by the outbreak the hardest.
