Seven-time Grammy winner Gloria Estefan urged her 2.2M social media following to ‘put on your mask’ in a two-minute reimagining of her 1989 hit song Get On Your Feet for the coronavirus era.

‘They say stay home / Please don’t go outside / There’s no use dying / Each time someone comes within six feet / We feel like crying,’ the Cuban-American 62-year-old sang on Saturday.

‘I know it’s true / We are going through this nasty virus / We understand, if we wash our hands, we can survive this / Put on your mask / When you go out in public / Put on your mask / Help save the world from COVID.’

She continued: 'I know it's true / We are going through this nasty virus / We understand, if we wash our hands, we can survive this / Put on your mask / When you go out in public'
