To increase access to reliable information, he said the WHO, WhatsApp, and Facebook have launched a new health alert messaging service to provide the latest news and information on COVID-19. And given the millions of people across the globe who are sheltering in place, Tedros said it’s important for people to look after their health, such as through a nutritious diet, limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding smoking, exercising regularly, and maintaining social connections, which will also help fight COVID-19. “If you’re working at home, make sure you don’t sit in the same position for long periods. Get up and take a 3-minute break every 30 minutes,” he said, adding that the WHO will provide more advice on staying healthy at home in the weeks ahead.
