Holding on is an important imperative during the corona pandemic, but the “assistance” sometimes also takes on strange dimensions. Vienna Airport apparently does not trust male passengers to keep enough distance from one another while using the urinals.

Anyone who visits the men's toilets at the Austrian capital airport Vienna-Schwechat these days will find numerous covered urinals. Occasionally, one or the other is defective, but that is not the cause. The airport points out in large letters that these “quiet places” are currently not allowed to be used due to the anti-corona measures. Health is in the foreground. Actually, one should be able to assume that keeping your distance in front of the urinals shouldn't be a problem due to the currently low number of passengers, but in Vienna you literally don't let anything “piss on”. In order to be absolutely sure that the locked urinals were not used illegally, they were covered with large, labeled plastic panels.

The question that inevitably arises, however: The number of usable urinals has only been reduced in the last few weeks. How did the male users manage to keep the minimum clearances in the area of ​​the urinals before this measure?
