"One, remember, you'll get through this, and things will be alright. Even if y look uncertain, even if you're worried, darkness never prevails. Two, tell jokes, even b ones. Especially b ones. I'm brilliant at b ones. 

"Three, be kind. Even kinder than you were yesterday, and I kw you were super kind yesterday. Talking will help, sharing will help... Look out for your friends, your neighbours, people you hardly kw, and family... 'cause in end, we're all family," Whittaker said.

actor said people should listen to doctors' guidelines in current situation.

"Four, listen to science, and listen to doctors, right? y've got your back. Five, stay strong, stay positive. You've got this, and I will see you, very soon," Whittaker concluded video.
