A Swedish island in the Baltic Sea has taken a novel approach to enforcing social distancing amongst tourists: It's hired a troupe of knights.

In full medieval regalia, the four knights on horseback greet tourists arriving at Gotland and advise them on how to protect themselves and others from spreading coronavirus.

Lennart Borg is the lead knight.

"That's what knights do - we help people and our country in distress, so of course we took this job."
