Big disappointment for animal lovers: a snake wrapped around its neck and head is not a proper mouth and nose protection against the coronavirus.
North West England's public transport services came to this clarification after a man was seen on a bus with a live snake around his neck and mouth.
Passengers on the bus on the way to Manchester would have thought at first that the man was wearing a particularly colorful mouth and nose protection, reported the Manchester Evening News newspaper.
Photos of the man show him with a snake around his mouth and neck that looked like a python strangler. He did not wear a respirator as required.
A spokesman for the local transport companies for the Greater Manchester area recalled that masks, scarves or scarves are accepted as masks. There is some room for interpretation: "But we don't think that this includes the use of snakeskin, especially if it's still on the snake."
