McConaughey has been working with the City of Austin to release videos urging people to practice social distancing.

Days after students at the University of Texas at Austin tested positive for COVID-19 after a spring break trip to Mexico, McConaughey, Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhart asked young adults to stay home as much as possible.

“The virus doesn’t spread unless we spread it to each other” McConaughey, the “Minister of Culture" for UT and the city, said in the PSA.

As of Monday, Texas has more than 13,800 cases of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new virus, resulting in 286 deaths, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.
