Amy Schumer is doing her part to keep her loved ones safe from the novel coronavirus, even if it means spending time physically apart.

However, she found a creative way to still have that cherished one-on-one time with her dad, Gordon.

The 39-year-old brought smiles to her Instagram followers' faces on Tuesday when she showed off how she and her 10-month-old son Gene said hello to her dad from afar.

The video shows a beaming Schumer waving around an adorable handwritten sign that reads "Hi Grandpa! We love you!" outside her father's New York City building. The mother-son duo are dressed snugly in their sweat suits and heavy winter jackets, with Gene even sporting a white cap.

The camera then pans over to Gordon, who's fondly watching his daughter and grandson safely from his window.

That wasn't the only heartwarming video the comedian posted to her Instagram on Tuesday. A few hours later, she proudly showed off how enthusiastically her neighborhood cheers the doctors and nurses leaving their 7 p.m. hospital shift.
