The World Health Organization WHO has invited the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI) to support the new social media challenge #HealthyAtHome.
In the campaign announced on Wednesday, celebrities are to give tips on sports activities, child education and mental health under curfew, among other things.
"Regular physical activity benefits both the body and mind. It can reduce high blood pressure, help manage weight and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers - all conditions that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19," writes the WHO.
The sporting goods industry is invited by the WHO to promote the campaign through its social media channels. The WHO provides free social media tiles in its media centre.
The WFSGI reacted and published a detailed overview of fitness programs that help people of all ages stay fit and healthy at home.
