Around 1,000 people ignored coronavirus lockdown orders and packed into an apartment to party in Chicago’s West Side over the weekend.

Videos emerged on social media showing the raucous group dancing, drinking, and chatting in a packed room on Saturday, ignoring warnings to practice social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Chicago’s leaders Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Governor J. B. Pritzker have been strict in their lockdown orders, barring people from leaving their homes except for essential trips and banning gatherings of over 10 people through May 30.

However, the group of youngsters defied all preventative measures and gathered for an evening of fun.

'[There] were about 1,000 people in the yard and in the house. It was really crowded and hot,' one 23-year-old attendee said to MTO News.

'I’m not worried about [the coronavirus]…but if I didn’t have it before, I probably got it now. Oh well,' she added.

The source said attendees were enjoying themselves and were not worried about the coronavirus pandemic - despite 41,777 cases of COVID-19 and 1,874 deaths in the state.

Social media users voiced their outrage over the gathering as Chicago reels from the impact of COVID-19

In Cook County, which covers the city of Chicago there have been over 29,000 cases of the virus and more than 1,200 deaths.

Video of the gathering was shared on social media Saturday night that’s racked up more than 850,000 views and thousands of outraged comments.

'It’s toooo many people in there,' one Facebook user wrote.

'There’s ppl wearing them mask incorrectly maaann,' another added.

'[I] woulda stood at the top floor and Sprayed Lysol Straight down,' one Facebook viewer wrote.

'This upsets me because everyone is thinking about themselves and not others that they may be spreading it to. Death just doesn’t seem like something to be serious about to most during this pandemic,' Chicago resident Jayna Lynn commented on the video.

'The carelessness/selfishness shown here, is going to hurt so many, and knowing that is so disheartening. People are legit dying & from the looks of this, more deaths to come,' one Twitter user added.

Last week Governor Pritzker extended lockdown orders through May 31 for Illinois.

'I know how badly we all want our normal lives back. But this is the part where we have to dig in and understand that the sacrifices we’ve made as a state to avoid a worst-case scenario are working — and we need to keep going a little while longer to finish the job,' he said.

The new order requires residents cover their faces in public spaces and practice social distancing.

Chicago’s Mayor commended the announcement as 'appropriate' and said she could extend the city's lockdown into June.
