In bad and difficult times, the good still prevails.
In countries around the world, millions of people are quarantined in their homes as governments take extreme measures to stop the spread of Wuhan coronavirus.
But while they've been ordered to stay at home, people in Italy, Israel and Spain are still finding wonderful ways to come together as a community. Enjoy.
