This is Danny DeVito and I'm asking you from the bottom of my heart all over the state of New York- stay home. I mean everybody. I mean, we got this virus, this pandemic, and, you know, young people can get it and they can transmit it to old people And the next thing you know- I'm out of there!"

"So Governor Cuomo asked me to ask you- please, do us a favour, all of us, and stay home- not spread this virus around. Thank you," the 'Twins' star added.
