ECHO readers slammed the shameful behaviour of 24 people dealt with by police for attending lockdown house parties.
Events were broken up in Wavertree and Liverpool city centre over the weekend, with 13 people arrested and 11 handed fines under new coronavirus laws.
News of the antics of those involved caused anger and frustration on social media as many criticised them for risking their lives and the loves of others by ignoring social distancing advice.
Among dozens of responses to the article were multiple calls to "name and shame" those involved.
One ECHO reader wrote: "Start naming and shaming, then when their families and friends find out, maybe they will serve justice on them, I think the neighbours might."
Another said: "No wonder the north west is the highest region with idiots like this, it makes little of all health staff and key workers putting themselves in danger. Should name and shame."
After weeks of restrictions preventing social gatherings and limiting opportunities to leave home, others branded the party-goers as selfish.
One reader said: "Why do some people think it's a certain rule for some people, but does not include them? So unfair, when others are sticking to isolation rules" and another wrote: "Some people are just idiots plain and simple."
Merseyside Police busted a party on Garmoyle Road on Saturday night and then Duke Street in the early hours of Sunday morning.
In both cases none of those involved lived at the properties where the parties were taking place.
Many of those found at the Wavertree incident had travelled to Merseyside from Greater Manchester, while those linked to the city centre party are suspected of having broken into the address.
It came during a weekend in which Merseyside Police praised the public for abiding by restrictions in place to halt the spread of coronavirus despite the return of good weather.
The force shared images of popular parks and beaches typically packed when the weather improves but all looking quiet as people stayed home to help save lives.
Superintendent Mark Wiggins said: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has stayed at home across Merseyside, or only visited parks and open spaces for their daily exercise, and supported each other in trying to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
"There were a few days in the last couple of weeks when there was a greater number of people who were coming visit parks and opens spaces and not adhering to the Government restrictions.
"But I'm pleased to say that members of the public seem to have listened to the pleas of ourselves, the local authorities and other local organisations to stay home and save lives, and protect our dedicated NHS workers."
