Birthday party and picnic in park despite curfew
Police sent home youngsters enjoying their kebab in a national park near Manchester, while a 40-year-old man threw a birthday party in Austria despite the ban. The situation is serious in both countries, but these people refused to obey the curfew.
Despite the curfew, youngsters were sunbathing, eating kebabs and smoking hookah in a national park near Manchester. The eight young people were well prepared for the picnic, bringing with them plenty of food and drink, however, the police sent them home.
The area is very popular with hikers. Police patrolled there several times this week and always found plenty of cars in the parking lots. They screened the mountain with a drone and found people walking the dog, taking pictures and watching the sunset.
Despite posts yesterday highlighting issues of people still visiting the #PeakDistrict despite government guidance, the message is still not getting through. @DerPolDroneUnit have been out at beauty spots across the county, and this footage was captured at #CurbarEdge last night. pic.twitter.com/soxWvMl0ls

In Austria, more than 7,700 people have already been infected, and people can leave their homes only if it is absolutely necessary. Still, a 40-year-old man threw a birthday party in a village in Styria on Friday night. He invited relatives, friends and acquaintances to celebrate, but police eventually put an end to the party. When the officers arrived, the guests began to insult them, but finally they peacefully acknowledged that the party was over. They told the patrols they had gone to the party because they thought they were not infected.
