"We want to highlight the gravity of this historical, unprecedented, and cultural movement."

"We are all so very grateful to all of the health care professionals across the country and around the world, who are on the frontlines during COVID-19," Gaga added. "What you are doing is putting yourselves in harm's way to help the world and we all salute you." In addition to raising awareness for the WHO's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, the event "will highlight stories from the world's health care heroes, as well as messages of gratitude and appreciation from those who they've treated."
