The World Health Organization is partnering with major video game makers in support of online gaming as a way to keep people indoors to help fight the new coronavirus. The partnership comes as online video game play has increased as governments across the world ordered citizens to stay home in an effort to stop the virus from spreading. In mid March, Italy’s top telecommunications company announced internet traffic had increased more than 70 percent in the days since the government enforced quarantine rules, Bloomberg reported. Telecom Italia said a big reason for the rise was an increase in play for video games like Fortnite and Call of Duty. In the United States, internet service provider Verizon reported a 75 percent jump in gaming activity on its networks during the second week in March, when stay at home directives began to take effect.
