Woman strips down to underwear and uses dress as face mask in an ice cream parlour in front of shocked patrons

A woman took off her clothes in public to fashion a face mask from it so as to comply with Covid-19 regulations at an ice cream parlour.

In CCTV footage captured at the store, the red-haired lady removes her dress, leaving only her underwear on.

She then attempts to wrap her dress around her head into a make-shift face mask as she walks into the shop in the busy shopping area of Godoy Cruz, in the western Argentinian province of Mendoza, shortly after 10.30 pm local time on Saturday night, Jan 1.

The scantily clad woman caused heads to turn as a father, standing in the queue with his wife and two children, is seen anxiously peering over his shoulder several times as she repositions her clothes around her face.

When told by staff that she had to wear a proper face mask, she replied: “Don’t ask me to put my face mask on, I’m doing it now.”

The unnamed woman turned and left again after being ordered out of the premises by staff.

Local reports said the woman was part of a group of 11 people who selected her to choose for everyone because of Covid regulations limiting the numbers who can enter business premises.
