At least WHO recommends playing with family or independently playing a game together. At least spend about 30 minutes with family or close relatives to get rid of stress and fear during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many games can be done, starting from game consoles and other moving activities while at home. Especially now that there are many game consoles that have motion or motion sensor options for playing games.

The Polish government has even made online game services available for free so that people and young people can play them in order to stay at home and carry out social distancing. This was done as schools and offices were closed during the corona pandemic.
