These new stickers convey key health measures like hand washing, stay active and social distancing.

With billions of stickers sent every day, WhatsApp is of the opinion that it could be an important addition as stickers are becoming the quickest growing way for users to communicate through WhatsApp message. It seems to be an important introduction, considering the COVID-19 rising to its peak in western nations which is still yet to take hold in other parts, like African countries where it is expected to have a huge impact. WHO has given a warning to Africa that it could become the next mass COVID-19 affected nation.

WhatsApp being the most used messaging app in these areas makes messaging tools like these crucial for spreading key health messages.

As it seems to be a small addition, the stickers can be used as a major role in assisting not only to limit the spread of misinformation but also to boost awareness about reduction measures.
