The WHO is recommending video games as an effective way to stop the spread of COVID-19, one year after adding 'gaming disorder' to its list of addictive behaviors

of "Gaming disorder" includes such indicators as "increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities."

Despite the classification, which goes into effect in January 2022, WHO ambassador for global strategy Ray Chambers said in a statement that he hopes the gaming industry can "reach millions with important messages to help prevent the spread of COVID-19," according to Chambers said game companies will encourage players to maintain distance from others as well as practice good hygiene, like handwashing. He also tweeted a post from the #PlayApartTogether campaign on March 28 in apparent support.As USA Today notes, video gaming isn't only a means of distraction during the current pandemic.
