In a show of solidarity, Miss Chiquita is staying home, too.

As millions of workers across the U.S. work from home during the COVID-19 crisis, so is the iconic banana brand’s Miss Chiquita.

Anyone visiting Chiquita’s Twitter feed will see the brand’s classic blue label, but without Miss Chiquita.

But she did leave a message: “I’m already home. Please do the same and protect yourself. ? #stayhome.”

No word on the whereabouts of the Green Giant.
