- Description:Austria has also started the first social call for "sounding solidarity" Social networks called on Sunday for Austrians to sing out of the window on Sunday at 6 p.m. There were various calls - "flashmob gigs", hashtag... calls. For example , citizens should sing "I am from Austria", which is an Austrian pop culture song , or playing classical music from the balcony. In larger housing communities, this call had not only positive reactions. Italy has new actions every day to show the country's solidarity. Above all, songs are sung together and should thus unite the people who are all in quarantine in this difficult situation.
