These hilarious images show how a Turkish minibus driver has covered the front of his vehicle with a huge ‘face’ mask in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Minibus driver Ahmet Kaya used a white cloth with he tied to his wing mirrors to create a face mask for his vehicle in the Altindag district of the Turkish capital Ankara.

The images show how the cloth has made a perfect ‘mask’ for his electric blue minibus and Kaya said she came up with the idea to raise awareness about the coronavirus pandemic, officially called COVID-19 by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The bus driver told reporters that “all of our buses are disinfected and safely open to the public”.

Reports state the Kaya has a pair of slippers inside his bus and a rubbish bin as precautions against COVID-19, as can be seen in the images.

It is unclear how the slippers are believed to protect against the spread of the virus.

Face masks are recommended by the WHO for people who have been confirmed to have COVID-19 or have shown symptoms of the virus.

Turkey has suffered 191 cases of the virus, leading to two deaths.
