Valentine’s Day cards have a twist

-

LONDON: Fancy an ‘‘isodate’’ this Valentine’s Day? Or how about ‘‘a socially distanced sanitised face covered kiss’’?

With gags about face masks, temperatur­e checks and social distancing, pandemicin­spired cards feature among the traditiona­l romantic offerings this year as couples in Britain prepare for Valentine’s Day under lockdown.

Designs on greeting card company sites include depictions of a socially distanced couple in hazmat suits, a maskwearin­g heart or a couple long used to lockdown at home.
