As lockdown laws across the globe slowly start to ease up, pubs, clubs, cafés and restaurants are reopening and allowing folks to dine out once again.
However, to ensure that only a certain amount of people attend an establishment at once and said patrons follow social distancing rules, some places have gotten v. creative with their methods.
Take, for example, this Paris café that’s gone viral for plonking a very large teddy bear on every second chair.

To encourage social distancing a cafe in Paris has put giant teddy bears in seats that are too close to one another.
Genius. pic.twitter.com/QL3gXRISVn
