Coronavirus symptoms: what are they and should you see a doctor?
A man went to extraordinary lengths to protect himself from the coronavirus as he wore face-mask and hula-hoop on his commute.

Footage shows the Australian walking down Erskine Street in Dubbo, in the New South Wales Central West suited up to protect himself from becoming infected.

The video was captured by Twitter user Jake Smith on Tuesday who said it's 'not the sort of thing you'd see every day out here.'

The video comes 24 hours after the introduction of tough regulations by the federal government on Wednesday around social distancing and public gatherings.
Smith said he was a 'bit taken back to see such drastic measures being taken in a regional area.'

Dubbo has a population of 38,392 as of June 2018, according to the latest Census.

A spokesperson for the Western New South Wales local health district confirmed there have been five confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the region, however none of these were in Dubbo.
