Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning gave a shout-out to health care workers at New York-Presbyterian Hospital helping patients battle COVID-19 in a video posted April 1.

“When everybody else in the world is being asked to stay at home, to sit back, and do nothing, you’ve been asked to step up and you’re doing that in every way,” Manning says in the video, which was posted to Facebook and Vimeo. “We cannot thank you enough, and I want you to know how much we all appreciate what you’re doing to the benefit of so many others.”
