Hazmat-suited shopper risks a trip for extra loo roll

-

This picture has captured the moment a person was seen casually walking down a Bath street wearing full military hazmat gear – while clutching 27 rolls of toilet paper.

The individual appears to have escalated his own precaution­s against the threat of coronaviru­s and was captured wearing the camouflage gear and face mask by Pulteney Bridge Flowers last Thursday.

Many people are panic-buying toilet rolls while the threat of Covid-19 intensifie­s, with this individual seen carrying three nine-roll packets of Lidl’s Floralys Super Soft.

While some people are choosing to wear masks to try to prevent infection, Bath councillor and disease control expert Dr Bharat Pankhania says this does not work.

Bath resident Paul Roles posted this photo on his Facebook page and captioned it: “Meanwhile in Bath”.

The photo has been shared widely in the Bath area.
