Amid the coronavirus pandemic, a shocking picture from Wuhan shows thousands of people enjoying at a water park.
Picture taken at the Wuhan Maya Beach Water Park in Wubei province show people enjoying in pools. The party took place on August 15.
In the picture, it is clearly visible that people wore goggles and life-jackets but not the face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wuhan was the first place where the virus was detected and now life has been inching back toward normal life after a strict 76-day lockdown earlier this year. No new locally-transferred cases have been officially reported from the province.
The picture of this pool party has received heat on social media.
"A picture mocking the entire world?", wrote a user. Here's how netizens reacted to the pool party...
Is this an actual joke? A picture mocking the entire world? This is a pool party in Wuhan. Wuhan - the epicenter of COVID-19. No masks. No social distancing. No respect for even global optics. Yes, they have reported no new cases in months. But read the room Wuhan. Read the room. pic.twitter.com/hnLmdIPFp8

The bottom image is from this past weekend in Wuhan, China. A huge pool party with no social distancing and no masks. One would think such a 'deadly virus' would certainly not just disappear like that. Are people ready to open their eyes and realize this is a charade….. pic.twitter.com/cXRb2VyG8t
