FOR many, a trip to the toilet is a rare moment of solitude, but based on a sign on the door of one NSW Hospital dunny, some see it as a group activity.
Keen to emphasise the need to maintain physical distance while on the loo, hospital bureaucrats posted a note stressing the single toilet facility was "limited to one" user at a time.
The sign restricting restroom capacity to one was highlighted on social media by a medical student, and may have seemed unnecessary when the video showed the door opening to show a rather cramped room.
However, a sign displayed on the door of a similar Eastern Health facility in Victoria was posted in response calling on staff to "please respect social distancing", before noting the "maximum room capacity is 1/2", adding "thank you for your cooperation".
While surprised by the NSW Health's toilet capacity restrictions, we're trying to work out the logistics of using a loo while only half being in the room.
