The municipality of Trabzon in Turkey has devised a funny way to urge citizens to wear masks in public facilities and roads.
The municipality placed an electronic screen at one of the public transport stations that reflects the images of the station's visitors, to show the image of the virus as an alternative to the face of the violator of the instructions for wearing the muzzle.
The footage taken through a camera placed above the station showed the reactions of citizens who expressed surprise with the pictures.

Turkey announced its intention to purchase 75 million doses of two promising vaccines for the Corona epidemic from China and Germany during the winter season, while it continues its efforts to develop the local vaccine.
In a press conference last Wednesday, Turkish Health Minister Fakhruddin Kujah announced the signing of a contract with China to purchase 50 million doses of the inactivated vaccine that it had produced and had proven effective in the early stages of the disease.
Koca added that the purchase of the vaccine from China will be in the months of December, January, and February.
He also revealed that discussions were continuing to buy 25 million doses of the German RNA vaccine.
With 75 million doses of the vaccine - which is administered in two doses per person - it will be possible to vaccinate about half of Turkey's population during the winter season.
The Turkish minister also mentioned that they are also in contact with Russia in order to purchase the vaccine.
He pointed out that there are 16 local vaccines under development in Turkey, one of which has reached the clinical trial stage, explaining that 44 people have volunteered to test the vaccine on them.
