- Thanks to Banksy, spray-painted rats with face masks and hand sanitizer recently appeared on the London Underground.
- The elusive street artist is known for commentating on public discourse and political issues, ranging from the Black Lives Matter movement to air pollution. His most recent work urges people to wear face masks.
- In a video shared on Instagram, a person — potentially Banksy — is dressed as a member of the London Underground's cleanup crew. The video depicts the man entering a subway car where he stencils his trademark rats.
- The art features rats sneezing across the train, using face masks for parachutes, and carrying hand sanitizer.
- According to the Evesham Journal, the graffiti has already been removed from the train due to the Transport for London's strict anti-graffiti policy. However, a spokesperson with the department said they were willing to work with Banksy to place his artwork in a "suitable location."
