A taxi driver in Beijing was captured fully covered in protective clothing, glasses and a mask on January 25.

A bag of surgical masks and a bottle of hand gel can also be seen placed in the car.

The passenger Ms Cai asked: "Does anyone else dare to travel in your taxi when you equip yourself like this?"

The driver said: "During the coronavirus outbreak, protecting yourself is not only good for yourself but also for your family. Safety is the most important."
