About
#StayHome is a hashtag campaign started by doctors encouraging people not to leave their homes and practice Social Distancing during the Coronavirus Outbreak.
Origin
On March 17th, 2020, Facebook user Dr. Gee Teak Sheng[1] posted pictures of himself and staff at his hospital in Malaysia holding signs that read "I stay at work for you. You stay home for us #StayHome #DudukRumah" (shown below). The pictures gained over 17,000 reactions and 68,000 shares.
Spread
The pictures inspired other doctors to follow suit. Dr. Ahmed Rabea in Egypt shared a similar photo, and a tweet of the photo by user @TheJimmyHopkin[2] gained over 52,000 retweets and 48,000 likes (shown below, left). A group of doctors in Israel also shared the message in a photo posted by Twitter user @FaresSaeb[3] gaining over 38 retweets and 130 likes (shown below, right).
Other doctors posted videos inspired by the hashtag. For example, user @_SJPearce_ posted a viral TikTok video showing doctors holding signs asking for people to stay home, gaining over 71,000 retweets and 146,000 likes (shown below, top).

My heart can't 😭
"We also have family but we can't stay home…Be responsible and STAY HOME because I can't"
…."HELP US"
Healthcare workers are literally risking it all to save us. Realize that.
They are humans not robots. Over worked, under staffed. 💔
