Police have made an appeal to parents to speak with their children about the current health crisis after an incident in Derry last night.
Officers attended St Columbs Park on Sunday evening at around 8.30 after receiving reports of a large number of youths drinking alcohol.
And on arrival, police say the young people made jokes about the Coronavirus crisis.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "Most of these youths ran off when we attended but some took the time to shout abuse at police, thinking it was hilarious to shout that they all had Coronavirus before coughing over each other.
"If any of those children were unknowing carriers, they may have just infected their friends who could well be going home tonight to possibly infect their entire family.
"Folks please speak to your children about how serious the current situation is it might just save a life."
