Jimmy Fallon, The Killers, Gloria Gaynor and More Share Their Coronavirus Hand-Washing Songs

As information about the coronavirus pandemic rapidly changes, PEOPLE is committed to providing the most recent data in our coverage. Some of the information in this story may have changed after publication. For the latest on COVID-19, readers are encouraged to use online resources from CDC, WHO, and local public health departments and visit our coronavirus hub.

The Centers for Disease Control’s biggest pieces of advice throughout the coronavirus pandemic have been to wash your hands and stay home if you are feeling ill. We should also be social distancing, meaning that we should be staying isolated unless necessary for us to leave our homes.

Here’s what the CDC says about washing your hands:

“Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.”

Because washing your hands is so important, these celebrities and social media users are coming up with inventive ways to use popular songs and pop culture to make it more fun (and effective) when you’re sick of “Happy Birthday.”
