FOR ALL THE LATEST HEALTH ADVICE, GO TO WWW.WHO.INT/COVID-19" STORY: FIFA has joined the United Nations and the World Health Organization's #BeActive campaign launched on the UN International Day of Sport for Development and Peace which aims at encouraging people to be #HealthyAtHome during the coronavirus pandemic.

On Monday (April 6), FIFA kicked off the campaign with a promotional video showing Spain's La Liga rivals Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid and Barcelona's Gerard Pique and English Premier League rivals Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford asking fans to 'set aside rivalries' and 'be active today'.

WHO recommends up to 60 minutes of physical activity including online exercise classes, dancing, playing active video games and jumping rope as part of the initiatives to combat periods of isolation during the crisis in a healthy manner.

With the world at a standstill, global virus infections exceed a million, with more than 65,000 deaths, a Reuters tally showed.
