People confined to their homes applaud in support of healthcare workers, during the lockdown amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium April 4, 2020.

Cities around the world are coming together daily to show appreciation for healthcare workers and first-responders by cheering and making noise from rooftops, balconies, and windows.

People in major cities such as Los Angeles and London coordinated designated times to all cheer together, and in some cases, bang on pots and pans, as a symbolic gesture of appreciation and solidarity with healthcare workers.

Healthcare providers including nurses, doctors, EMTs, and medics are highly critical during the coronavirus pandemic and are over-worked with long, demanding shifts. The daily burst of noise shows support for the long hours workers put in each day and serves as a reminder to the general public about the importance of the precautions taken during the coronavirus pandemic by thinking about front-lines workers.

That's why people in New York created a social media campaign with the hashtag #ClapBecauseWeCare to get residents to come together and celebrate doctors, nurses, healthcare providers as well as other essential workers such as pharmacists, postal employees, grocery store workers, restaurant workers, truck drivers, and sanitation workers, among others.

But it's not just New York. Here are some videos of what the daily celebration looks like in different places across the world:

From the rooftops of New York City, the banging of pots and pans and cheering can be heard at 7 p.m. every evening.

Italy was one of the first countries to start the trend after people began bursting into song from their porches and windows.

But Italy isn't the only place in Europe where people are belting out cheers over the streets. People in Spain, France, the UK, and other countries are cheering too.
