Video: Amidst high Number of Deaths, Italians under Lockdown Celebrate life with Drinks and Songs!

The lockdown has been extended until May 03 in various countries across the globe, as they fight the spread of the novel coronavirus. However, various social groups have lifted their spirits in these difficult times by celebrating with their neighbours, while abiding by the conditions of social distancing.

Previously, videos of Italians being united by music, which they played and sang along from their balconies, were widely circulated on various social media and online media platforms. Now, the Italians once again have left the social media amused, since a video of people celebrating an unknown occasion by attaching bamboo sticks to their wine glasses, to toast with their neighbours, while maintaining social distance; has gone viral. The young and unknown people celebrating in the video seem jolly and coordinated, thereby lifting the quarantine spirits. For many, this video is now the new “Quarantine goals”.

The comment section is flooding with laughing emoticons. A user has commented, “Wow, I love it.” Another comment reads, “hope you all are doing okay, best regards and keep happy from Australia.” Other comments include, “Always finding a way to socialize” and “Let me go and find a stick that’s long enough and move into this neighbourhood.”
