Well, that's one way of doing it!
As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread in Italy, people are rightfully adhering to the World Health Organisation's advice, to practice social distancing.
Social distancing is defined as the act of keeping at least one-metre distance from someone who is coughing or sneezing.
And one man has gone viral after taking the the measures quite literally.
The Italian man has found a unique way to enforce his own brand of social distancing — by wearing a giant cardboard circle around his waist.
In a viral video circulating on social media, the man can be seen walking around Rome, donning the social distancing disc.
The person filming the video asks the man why he’s wearing the cardboard circle.

“For coronavirus,” the man honestly replies.
It's hoped social distancing will help halt the spread of COVID-19 as the deadly virus continues to affect the world.
Italy is currently the second hardest hit country by coronavirus behind China.
More than 1,000 people have died with more than 15,000 confirmed cases in the country.
