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.'
