The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the coronavirus pandemic is no excuse for not getting enough exercise. WHO in its physical activity guidelines stressed that exercise is vital to physical and mental health, while sedentary behaviour can have serious repercussions. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement in Geneva that
