Alert level 5 means that COVID-19 epidemic is in general circulation
When the Essex Police responded to calls of a gathering in violation of COVID-19 rules, they thought they were going to shut down a rave, but the officers only found elderly citizens queueing up to get coronavirus vaccine shot.
Neighbors had reported revellers, who they thought were flouting COVID-19 norms, outside Saxon Hall on Friday, according to the New York Post, which cited Echo News.
The police only found the elderly lining up to get the coronavirus vaccine. “It was really funny when the police arrived as they had been notified that there was a ‘rave’ taking place at Saxon Hall — only to find 80- and 90-year-olds on wheelchairs,” Saxon Hall chairman Dennis Baum said.
