People around the world have been forced to work from home due to the coronavirus pandemic so as to adhere to the social distancing norms to contain the spread of the deadly virus. While many are feeling comfortable in our pyjamas and lungis, a Brazil judge appeared shirtless in a court hearing.

Judge Carmo Antonio de Souza, a magistrate in the Brazilian state of Amapá, appeared shirtless before the hearing started via video call on April 7.

The 52-year-old judge was seen gulping from his glass as he stared at his computer screen. Six other officials dressed in formal attire were connected on the video call.

The judge returned to the meeting wearing a buttoned shirt before the hearing was held.

When the court looked into the incident on Tuesday, de Souza was cleared of any wrongdoing for his video appearance. "The occurrence of incidents such as what happened is perfectly understandable," the Amapá State Court of Justice said in a statement, the Daily Mail reported.

The court noted, "The moment experienced by the world requires dedication from everyone to solutions for maintaining essential services, such as the measures adopted by the Brazilian Justice, respect for the guidelines of health authorities and, above all, indulgence, compassion and commitment to the common good, thus avoiding the proliferation of fake news and distorted information, which in no way contribute to facing and overcoming the pandemic."
