Janet Jackson is showing her appreciation for essential workers who continue to put themselves at risk as the country attempts to curb the spread of coronavirus.

The pop star, 53, took to Instagram Monday to acknowledge medical personnel, grocers and others who have been called to work through the current COVID-19 crisis.

“While most of us are inside there are many brave people around the world that aren’t able to be isolated because we need them. 🤗,” she began the note. “I want to take a moment to recognize and say thank you to the nurses, doctors, hospitals, healthcare providers, scientists, drivers, pilots, flight attendants, delivery teams, cleaners, grocery stores, clerks, teachers, managers, men and women in uniform, sanitation facilities, janitorial teams, reporters, journalists, security professionals and everyone around the world who are working nonstop to end the spread of the virus. Putting themselves at risk to protect, serve and provide for us.”

Jackson continued, “YOU are seen and forever appreciated. Thank U and please stay safe. 🙏🏽 Let’s all keep the positivity up by remembering to keep smiling, laughing, singing, dancing and spreading LOVE. Put a heart below to show your love & support. • 🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎.”

Fresh from a residency in Las Vegas last year, Jackson recently announced North American dates for her “Black Diamond” world tour this summer. The trek will likely be postponed due to coronavirus.
