Crowds filmed at Wuhan pool party amid global pandemic
Telegraph, 19 Aug 2020
Wuhan's Maya Beach Water Park has started seeing large numbers of people attending after it began a free ticket giveaway in July.
The theme park reopened in Wuhan on 25 June, following the lifting of the national coronavirus lockdown.
Footage taken by an attendee on 3 August shows dense crowds together in the pool, with music playing.
However, despite crowds, entry requirements are strict - partygoers must reserve their tickets online up to a week in advance with national ID numbers, and when they arrive they must present their "health code" generated from a mobile app that tracks people's movements.
