While most of the global population has been staying home, essential workers like doctors and nurses are keeping the rest of us afloat during this unprecedented time. 
 
Tourist sights around the world including Walt Disney World's Cinderella Castle and the London Eye have united in this effort to acknowledge those on the frontline by lighting up their buildings blue, the color for healthcare professionals.
