The Coronavirus outbreak is spreading far and wide with over 379,000 cases and over 15,000 deaths. Right now, the only possible way to contain deadly flu is to stay at home and practice social distancing. The world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa also lit up to read #StayHome, to spread the message to everyone, not just in UAE but to people everywhere. Being a very popular tourist spot, people are always coming around, so it seems apt to have the message "Stay Home". Pictures and videos of the Burj Khalifa lit up to give this very important message have been shared on social media. In order to flatten the curve of the steep rise in cases, it is necessary that people stay indoors and avoid the community spread. Coronavirus in UAE: Abu Dhabi Closes All Major Tourist Attractions, Including Louvre Museum.

Burj Khalifa has time and again light up in displays to mark different occasions, like welcoming the New Year or even to offer support and solidarity. A few days ago, the entire building was lit in colours of the Italian flag, to offer support to the worst-hit countries by COVID-19 right now. Along with the Italian flag, they had a message that read, "We are with you." Last night, to reinforce the need to stay home, the building lit up with a message 'Stay Home.'
