Kalani Sitake Belts Out In Song To Help Crush The Coronavirus Curve

PROVO, Utah – BYU head football coach Kalani Sitake is winning the stay at home movement during this novel Coronavirus pandemic. First, it was dancing, now we are hearing the pipes from Sitake and it was for a good cause.

Sitake put out a short video clip of him with his children on social media in an effort to bring more awareness to crushing the Coronavirus curve. The fifth-year BYU head coach started to sing Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight.” We might have to start calling him Kalani Sinatra after that performance.

How Do I Prevent It?

The CDC has some simple recommendations, most of which are the same for preventing other respiratory illnesses or the flu:

• Avoid close contact with people who may be sick
• Avoid touching your face
• Stay home when you are sick
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the trash
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Always wash your hands with soap and water if your hands are visibly dirty.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

The CDC does not recommend wearing a face mask respirator to protect yourself from coronavirus unless a healthcare professional recommends it.
