A hairdresser in the Netherlands named Bella Rosa has become an online sensation after she devised an unusual hazmat suit from a black umbrella to protect herself from the coronavirus transmission. The Dutch barberette posted a video on Facebook in which she can be seen attending to a client shielded behind the umbrella doing business, as usual, simultaneously maintaining social distancing measures.

The eight-second clip, which was uploaded last week, was shot at Bella Rossa salon in Oss, north of Eindhoven, Holland. The video has gone viral as the internet lauded the hair dresser’s bizarre, yet innovative, anti-coronavirus costume that amassed over 96k shares and 3.5k likes. Basically, the stylist cut two holes in the umbrella and wore it around her body to keep away from the infection. She also wore disposable gloves while cutting the client’s hair. She wrote in the caption of the clip, “This is not going well," as the client could be heard laughing in the video as the loud music played in the background.
