We've all been at a standstill from our daily lives, figuring out ways to cope with a quarantine. But for those working in the medical industry, they have been faced with the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19.

To show some much-needed appreciation for these individuals, cities from around the globe have begun to applaud healthcare workers every night from their balconies. It all began with the Italians singing from windows, balconies, and rooftops to spread cheer. It then became a coordinated nationwide event that spread in the locked- through social media.

Take a look at some of the glorious singing, clapping, and stomping that's bringing the world together.
