PSG star Neymar posts special tribute to health workers risking their lives amid coronavirus pandemic

Paris Saint-Germain talisman Neymar has thanked health workers for their efforts in combating the spread of coronavirus.

Most of the world's population, including high-profile footballers such as Brazil international Neymar, are being encouraged to remain at home to limit the impact of the global pandemic.

Yet doctors and nurses remain on the frontline in the fight against Covid-19.

Earlier this week residents in Italy and Spain, who are in lockdown, showed their appreciation for health personnel by applauding in unison in events coordinated on social media.

Neymar has followed suit with a video of him clapping uploaded onto his social media accounts.
