Disclamer: We know and understand Covid-19 is a very serious pandemic that should not be taken lightly, but with all of the seriousness in the world we thought it would be fun to make a playlist about Covid-19.
We hope this makes you smile and gives you some inspiration for what song to sing in your head, or out loud, while washing your hands.

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing. – WHO (World Health Organization)

“Emergency Room” – Stephycube (2019)
