Wuhan returns to normal life

The city of Wuhan was the first place in the world where coronavirus was reported. Hence the virus is also dubbed Wuhan virus. It was under a strict lockdown and now life is returning back to normal.

Since mid-May, the city has not reported even a single case. This is heartening. The people of Wuhan which number 11 million now are wanting to have some fun.

Therefore, thousands of people reached the city’s water park area and enjoyed. And what is more? None of the attendees were wearing face masks!

This is after nearly nine months of a challenging and bad time for the residents of the Hubei capital. Look at the wonderful and delighting pictures!

Wuhan’s party without face masks

The city of Wuhan was ground zero for the COVID-19 pandemic. And now the residents took time to enjoy themselves. They held a massive electronic music party in an open-air water park.

There were thousands of revelers at the site. They were dancing to the beats of the music. And the most surprising thing was there was no social distancing and no covers on these people’s face.

This last weekend saw innumerable attendees at the Wuhan Maya Beach Water Park. CNN said:

“Party-goers in swimsuits bunched together shoulder to shoulder, waving to the beat of the music while cooling down in hip-high water; others relaxed on inflatable rubber tubes that packed the pool to the brim, with little space to float around,”

The water park had opened in late June. But there was seasonal rain for almost a month after that. Hence people did not venture to the park. In early August 2020, only half the number of people that were there in August 2019 attended the park.
