One example of this is in Spain where Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez recently imposed a 15-day state of emergency which has restricted all but the most essential of trips.

Not everyone however has been willing to play ball.

In a recent viral video, police officers can be seen approaching a man who had ventured out onto the streets of Murcia wearing an inflatable Tyrannosaurus rex costume to protect him from the virus."During the state of emergency, walking of pets is allowed if accompanied by one person, always short walks so they can relieve themselves," the police departments's tongue-in-cheek post reads.

"Having a Tyrannosaurus rex is not covered. #stayathome."

The clip, which can be viewed below, has since racked up over 5 million views.

En estado de alarma se permite el paseo de mascotas acompañadas de una persona, siempre con paseos cortos para hacer sus necesidades.
