Michael Jackson has urged fans to "be smart and stay safe" as the coronavirus crisis deepens around the world.
More than 16,300 people have died worldwide as a result of contracting the disease, while over 372,000 people have tested positive.
Jackson died of a cardiac arrest in 2009 at the age of 50 but his Twitter account remains active and today it posted an inspiring message alongside a picture of the late singer wearing a face mask.
