A man in Italy has been spotted wearing what has been described as a social-distancing “doughnut” in order to ensure he stays a safe distance from others during the country’s outbreak of COVID-19.
The man is seen, walking around a market wearing a large yellow saucer, which has been suspended around his waist with two arm straps.

The video was reportedly captured in Rome’s Mercato Testaccio, a popular food market located in the Testaccio neighborhood south of the city’s center, according to a tag placed on the video.
Social distancing is something that should be taken seriously as the coronavirus continues to spread around the world at a rapid pace. You probably don’t have to go to the extremes in which the doughnut man above did…but props to his efforts!
Stay safe! Stay healthy! Wash your hands!
