A German cafe has encouraged customers to keep in line with social distancing rules by asking them to wear hats with pool noodles attached to them.
Cafe & Konditorei Rothe in Schwerin, Germany introduced the unique idea as a way to attempt to make sure that customers stay two metres from each other.
In a snap the cafe shared to its Facebook page, customers sat looked pretty relaxed as they enjoyed their coffees, cakes and wine wearing hats with swimming pool noodles stuck to the top of it in various directions.
Since the idea was posted online it has been praised by many - but a few people aren't so sure.
Katy Lee, the journalist who tweeted the picture of the cafe, wrote: "Oh my god, this is amazing", and added: "Zero shame attached to it."
One person replied: "Zero shame? Hahaha... they are wearing pool noodles... on their heads.... taped to a hat haha."
Another wrote: "I think the hats are the answer to social distancing on public transport."
And a third said: "I need one of those in Asda!"
"Applaud this for multiple reasons: Great PR, makes sense from disease POV, shames people who insist they need to sit in cafes rn", said a fourth.
But, a few people have expressed their concerns over the cleanliness of the hats.
With one person asking: "Are the hats disinfected after wearing?"
"So everyone is going to use the same hats that everyone else has been touching and readjusting the whole time...seems more like a publicity stunt than something that’s actually a good idea", added another.
