"Though we must be distancing ourselves to protect those who don't have the opportunity to self-quarantine, we can stay connected. Remember the lonely and isolated. Remember the love that can travel through all this," she added.


The actor further asked people to stay at home to prevent the spread of the highly contagious virus.


"Communities are stepping up shopping for the elderly, making lunches for children. We can all do something for one another, even if that's simply staying home," read the statement.


The 32-year old actor ended the statement with a sweet banter with husband Ryan and said, "Sending so much love. Now can someone please tell Ryan that "emotional distancing" from his mother in law is not a thing. Nothing can save him."


Globally, the virus, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, has infected more than 167,500 people and killed 6600 others.
