Two passengers of an Australian plane took an extreme yet unnecessary measure to protect themselves from the threat of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
In a video posted on Twitter by @Alyss423, two passengers were seen covered with plastic sheets while on board a plane.
“[This was] Currently behind me on the plane. When you [are] super scared of #coronavirus,” the fellow passenger captioned her tweet.
