WUHAN - Wearing masks and keeping about a metre apart, men and women in Wuhan were dancing once again on a Saturday night by the side of the Yangtze river, which winds through the central Chinese city where the novel coronavirus was first detected.
While most large indoor gatherings are still banned, people are reclaiming their daily lives and hobbies, which in many parts of China includes"square dancing", or mass dances, usually in the evenings in public squares, plazas or parks. Some waltzed in pairs. Others moved in sync to choreographed dance routines. All wore masks, and mostly kept apart.
Covid-19 first struck Wuhan late last year, and it became the epicentre of China's outbreak, accounting for about 80 per cent of the country's coronavirus cases, but the strict lockdown helped stifle new infections, allowing curbs on movement to be relaxed.
Shame on them, going for 1 metre, should be 2 because the viruses can travel within 7 feet! I hope the bad ones stop eating wild exotic animals, all wet markets selling wild life should be closed forever! They should be advocating that instead of dancing!
