Patrick Dempsey, known for his role as Dr. Derek Shepherd and often referred to as “McDreamy” on “Grey’s Anatomy” shared a selfie captioned with his good luck slogan.
The character, Dr. Shepherd, often would say “it’s a beautiful day to save lives” right before a surgery for good luck. Dempsey took the opportunity to use the iconic quote to encourage others to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
Dempsey has been outspoken about the pandemic on social media. Earlier this week, Dempsey posted a video on Instagram of Dr. Anthony Fauci discussing the impact of COVID-19.
According to EOnline, other celebrities are also using their star-power to get people to wear a mask including Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing cloth facial coverings in areas where social distancing guidelines may be difficult to maintain, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
