Some citizens of Spain are taking a more humorous approach to preventing the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).A video posted to Twitter, showing a car modeled after the Batmobile patrolling the streets in a city in Spain, is going viral. The car is broadcasting a message to residents to stay indoors in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.Translated into English, the tweet reads, "In the streets of downtown #Monterrey the Batmobile was seen patrolling and sending a message to citizens to take shelter in their homes and prevent the spread of the #coronavirus".
The car seems to be modeled after the Batmobile seen in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. Considered the Dark Knight's most famous gadget, the Batmobile is an iconic vehicle that has been associated with the character of Batman since he debuted.
The video is being seen as a way to brighten people's days during the outbreak. The coronavirus pandemic has left many people feeling down and depressed, forced to remain indoors and often dealing with their lives turned upside down. Spain has been one of the countries more badly effected by COVID-19.
It is unclear from the video if the person driving is a regular citizen, or possibly an emergency services employee working for the Spanish government.
