Austria’s postal service is printing Covid-themed stamps on toilet paper

“If you put 10 stamp sheets end to end, you get a metre’s distance in total – or the length of a baby elephant. The famous baby animal is also printed on the stamp,” the postal service said in a statement. The symbol of the baby elephant has been used in several of the Austrian government’s ad campaigns to encourage the practice of social distancing during the pandemic.

The postal service will be releasing 300,000 of the stamps on October 30, and for every sheet sold, a €2.75 donation will be made to charity, CNN reported.

“With the Corona stamp, we not only want to issue an original stamp block to remember this year, but also to support those who have been particularly affected by this crisis,” Austria Post CEO Georg Pölzl said in a statement.

This is not the first time the Austrian postal service has used stamps to make light of a particularly serious subject or current event. In January, it poked fun at the long drawn-out Brexit negotiations by issuing a stamp with the original date of Britain’s departure from the European Union crossed out and the new one underneath it, The Guardian reported.
