This video shows a paranoid Chinese shopper wearing a full tube of plastic sheets over her body amid growing fears over the deadly Wuhan coronavirus.

The unidentified female shopper from the city of Kunshan in East China’s Jiangsu Province was spotted lugging around a trolley while choosing products on her own.

A local resident running errands in the same supermarket spotted the bizarre sight and recorded the individual on her phone.

In the clip, the woman covered from head to toe appears to be floating around the aisle as the full plastic sheet tube flows around her body.

She is believed to have been wearing a surgical mask but reportedly wanted to ensure that she would be free of contamination by the time she reached home.

The shopper is seen paying at the cashier before leaving with her trolley in tow.

Social media users have called the woman’s outfit “overkill”, but others supported her choice to ensure she is coronavirus-free.

The deadly outbreak started in Wuhan in Central China’s Hubei Province has so far claimed the lives of 563 people in mainland China, while there are also two confirmed cases in Hong Kong and the Philippines respectively.

Now declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization, the number of infected has reached 28,290 worldwide.
