People have been seen doing bizarre things to protect themselves from COVID-19. A similar instance happened back in March when a man in Italy was seen wearing a cardboard to practise social distancing. As per reports, the video of the man walking was shot in the Testaccio market in Rome and the man seems to be taking Italy's strict new rules very seriously. In the video, the man can also be seen holding a tool that is used for picking up litter. The man must be using it to browse items and pick up items as he walks through the market. After this, a similar incident happened in Shanghai where a father created a safety cabin for himself and his child to protect them from the novel coronavirus.
