Staying connected through stickers?
WhatsApp and the World Health Organization have joined forces to launch a new sticker pack aimed at spreading vital information and key health messages to its user base amid the global COVID-19 pandemic.
We worked together with @WHO on a new 'Together at Home' sticker pack to help people stay connected throughout this moment and beyond. Send an air high five, celebrate our medical heroes, or show love to a personal hero in your life. Available now in your WhatsApp. pic.twitter.com/6xjKylYzRd

As per WhatsApp’s blog post,
We hope people enjoy using these stickers to check-in on loved ones, particularly those that are feeling isolated, alone, and scared. This pack offers creative ways to remind people to wash their hands, maintain distance, exercise, and importantly to celebrate medical heroes as well as the personal heroes in all of our lives.
The “Together at Home” sticker pack is available now within WhatsApp, including with text localized for 9 languages – Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
As Whatsapp is one of the most widely used messaging apps, the partnership is definitely relevant.
