The man was spotted walking aloof on the most popular shopping streets on Friday wearing nothing but a light blue face mask over his groin to cover his nudity. 

A man strolled down central London's most popular shopping street on Friday with only a mask to cover his nudity, leaving passersby astounded, amused and shocked. A Reuters photographer caught a picture of the man from an office above the street.

It is unclear as to what prompted the man with the face mask G string to do so but perhaps he misinterpreted the coronavirus protocol issued by the Government to keep corona at bay.
