No mask, no social distancing. Thousands of Chinese braved fear of the epidemic in Wuhan, the epicenter of the new coronavirus, during a techno mega-party in a water park that was making a splash on social media Monday.
China, where Covid-19 first appeared at the end of 2019, has largely mastered the virus since, with just a few dozen new daily cases reported in recent days by official reports.
The metropolis of Wuhan (center), cut off from the world for 76 days between January and April, has also gradually returned to normal life after being the first city on the planet to be quarantined due to coronavirus.
Last weekend, Maya Beach Water Park was thus filled to the brim with swimsuit-clad revelers, dancing closely side by side to electronic music - and visibly without any mask on the horizon.
Many participants paddled in a large orange buoy, alone or with others. The images broadcast by AFP have prompted scathing comments on social networks, as the Covid-19 has infected more than 21 million people around the world, including more than 766,000 fatally.
