It has become a nightly ritual across New York City for quarantined citizens to cheer on essential workers serving the community.
And on Friday, Sarah Silverman added her own appreciative howls and pan clanks to the mix from the comfort of her apartment balcony.
The 49-year-old comedian, donning a playful beanie, wielded a wooden spoon and a pot as she looked over her struggling city.

Silverman braved the chilly temperature in a navy blue cable knit sweater and a pair of dark wash denim jeans.
She rounded out her ensemble with some fingerless gloves for added warmth and a pair of black boots.
The stand-up comic could not help but beam as she banged her kitchen ware together for all to hear.
Sarah’s ‘quarantine partner’ leaned on the braver side in a pair of black Nike shorts and a button up shirt layered over a plain grey tee.

Earlier this week, Silverman explained the nightly ritual to her following on Instagram.
‘Everyday at 7pm in nyc, people open their window or stand on their fire escapes and bang pots and pans and howl and cheer on appreciation for our health care workers, grocery store workers and delivery people,’ she wrote.
‘It makes us feel connected and that we aren’t alone. I live for ever 7-7:03pm,’ concluded Silverman, who attached a video from the evening prior that showcased her community’s collective support.

New York continues to be considered the epicenter on the coronavirus pandemic in the United States with over 161,000 confirmed cases, according to New York magazine.
The outlet reported that, as of Friday, ‘at least 7,844 people with COVID-19’ have died in the state.
But even with the state’s startling numbers, Governor Andrew Cuomo revealed during a press conference on Wednesday that the ‘curve is flattening’ and ‘hospitalizations are down.’
