Watch Irish celebrities unite to create challenges for young people to combat coronavirus

Irish celebs have united to launch a campaign aimed at young people across the country to help fight the coronavirus.

Kodaline, Lottie Ryan and The Script are just some of the big names that have joined forces to challenge those staying at home to join in the efforts to prevent the spread.

Young people in Ireland are being asked to create content at home detailing how they are helping combat the virus.

The project called #CreateDontContaminate is aiming to kickstart a movement to give people energy and keep their spirits up while helping to keep families and communities safe.

Each day over the next two weeks, RTE's team of influencers and stars will share a challenge online in areas such as dance, music, comedy and story-telling.

The best and most creative videos will get the chance to go viral with the help of RTE's social channels.

Day 1 of the #CreateDontContaminate challenge is a dance challenge-dance.

How to talk to your children about the coronavirus

Lottie Ryan, who on Sunday won Dancing with the Stars, was on hand with advice and encouragement.

She said: "I think this is such a good idea.

"Not only will it keep us all entertained and hopefully introduce us to some new talent but most importantly, it will get the very important message out there about how important it is for young people to stay home and stay safe.

"So, get dancing like there's no one watching!"
