Rabat – A video of a man wearing a face mask spreading his saliva on public transportation in Brussels, Belgium has gone viral worldwide.
The video shows the man calmly standing in a metro car loaded with people.
One of the passengers filmed the man as he removed the mask from his mouth and started smearing his saliva on a pole with his hand.
The man’s disturbing actions come amid mounting fears of the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), a respiratory infection that has so far claimed the lives of more than 4,000 people. Belgium has confirmed 267 cases of the virus.
L’homme (en état d’ivresse) a été interpellé par la police et notre service de sécurité. La rame de métro a été retirée du service pour être désinfectée. Merci pour votre message. Nos métros sont nettoyés chaque jour.
