American singer, Lady Gaga said the Covid-19 pandemic has âmobilizedâ her to âwork on how [she] can help the worldâ, because she wanted to stop feeling “powerless” against the virus. Gaga said that she was inspired to do more to give back to both local and global communities after the coronavirus pandemic took hold last year, because she felt âpowerlessâ when faced with the health crisis.
“We’ve encountered a super virus that is epic in its disastrous proportions. So that feeling of powerlessness in some ways is, I think, something that we all share but it really mobilized me to work on how I can help the world,” said Gaga.
Gaga has teamed up with the International WELL Building Institute for its WELL Health-Safety Rating, which assess what buildings and businesses have taken steps to reach a certain level of safety amid Covid-19.Spaces that meet the requirements will receive a WELL Health-Safety seal, and the âShallowâ hitmaker hopes this will allow more people to begin meeting safely once again.
âI hope this will be one of the movements that is part of building back our global community and building back our local communities, by showing people we] can get back to quote-unquote normalcy, but we must do it safely,” added Gaga.
