Jedward have said they want people to be "more caring and more thoughtful" of those around them by "following the guidelines, washing our hands, wearing our masks."
Jedward, real names John and Edward Grimes, have been very vocal on social media about the importance of following the HSE's guidelines around Covid-19.
During their appearance on Friday night’s Late Late Show, they told host Ryan Tubridy that they felt they had to "let the people know what we stand for" when it came to talking about the pandemic online and using their platform in a positive way.
"We have to follow the guidelines, wash our hands, wear our masks, look out for our loved ones," John said.
"It’s not even about you… The people who are against it (following guidelines)… It’s all 'me, me, me’ but you have to think of everybody and be more caring, more thoughtful."

Edward echoed his twin brother’s sentiments, making an appeal straight to camera saying, "Wear your mask, people are dying, people have died, people have not been able to go to funerals, they won’t have their family members this Christmas.
"You wear your mask, change your ways, educate yourself."
Edward also opened up about the impact lockdown had on him personally, saying, "I’ve never felt so low in my life, what keeps you going is focusing on what you should be doing, making music, doing your job."
"It makes you realise what actually matters in your life; your family, your friends," John added.
"It makes you get very deep into your thoughts… But you have to be optimistic and hopeful for the future."
Jedward dedicated a stunning performance of REM’s Everybody Hurts to their mother who died last year.
"She won’t be at our weddings, at the birth of our kids, but we’ll always keep her spirit alive, have her pictures around, tell stories," Edward said.
"You just feel so disconnected from the world because the person who kept you anchored in the world, who gave birth to you, is gone, and now you don’t know where you should be or what you should be doing."
John added, "It sweeps the carpet out from underneath you."
