(CNN)A campaign is taking off on Twitter to hold a show of appreciation Sunday night for health care workers on the frontlines of the battle against coronavirus.

#Solidarityat8 asks people to go on their balconies or open their windows and doors at 8 p.m. and cheer, clap or just make some noise to honor the people who continue to work in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and other medical facilities.

Doctors, nurses and other medical personnel are being called heroes for their dedication as they continue working in increasingly dangerous conditions -- with masks and other protective gear in short supply.

The movement began in other countries that were affected by coronavirus before the United States.

Nice gesture. A nicer gesture would've been for everyone to start staying home a week or two ago .

1. How about our American govt get masks and testing kits out to people who need them most?

I couldn't imagine a more thoughtful tribute.

7. I bought them last year for taking care of my mom.

The doctors recommended wearing it around someone on chemotherapy. Unfortunately I lost her way faster than I thought.

God bless her soul.

6. While I appreciate all those you have to report to work and provide vital services

We should have a night for a Howard Beal type event.
