An Italian man has taken extreme measures to avoid contracting the coronavirus after wearing a giant disc to enforce social distancing.
On Wednesday, a video emerged of the man strolling along the streets of Rome wearing a giant cardboard disc to keep others at a distance from himself.
Speaking in Italian, one man asked: "And what would this be the security distance for?"
"For coronavirus!" the man responds, before the filmer jokes: "Wonderful. I can't cope!"
