A pair of advertisments from St. Lukes Medical Center took social media by storm after urging people to wear masks and stay at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The first ad released by the hospital features two men; one wearing a facemask and face shield and the other lying in a hospital bed, with an oxygen mask.
Both images had the same words under them: "I can't breathe."
“Wearing of face mask and face shield is highly recommended to protect you from the COVID-19 virus. A safety reminder from St. Luke's Medical Center,” the advertisment read.
The second ad from St. Lukes showed two women; one lying on a sofa at home, and the other lying on a hospital bed while wearing a respirator.
Similar to the first ad, the two images had the same words under them: "I don't want to be alone."
"Stay at home and minimize your exposure to the virus. A safety reminder from St. Luke's Medical Center," the hospital said in its post.
On March 26, the Department of Health reported a record-high tally of 9,838 new COVID-19 cases. The running total of cases in the country is at 702,856.
