The Columbia Fire Department said it broke up the massive bash after receiving calls from concerned neighbors, The State reported.
The pool at The Apartments at Palmetto Compress was packed with revelers, who also crowded the side of the swimming area and even stood on top of the pool house, Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins said.
現(xiàn)場沒有人戴口罩或者保持社交距離，人們都在暢飲狂歡，消防隊長詹金斯表示，在驅散人群時，甚至還有人向他表示，自己對新冠病毒免疫！
No one was practicing social distancing or wearing a mask, Jenkins said, “but there was lots of drinking going on.”
When officials ordered the party-goers to scram, the chief said, he was shocked that one person told him, “I can’t catch COVID. I’m immune to the stuff.”
詹金斯表示，哪怕是沒有疫情，當時泳池里的人數(shù)也太多了。目前，他已經(jīng)建議出于安全起見，繼續(xù)關閉泳池。

Even without the raging pandemic, “there still would have been too many people in the pool,” Jenkins said.
Jenkins said he would recommend keeping the pool shut for the foreseeable future as a safety precaution during the virus outbreak.
而南卡羅來納州大學方面表示，感謝相關部門喊停了泳池派對，并稱已經(jīng)采取許多措施引導學生做好防護。“那里僅僅是有個泳池罷了，你也沒有必要非得去里面游泳。”
USC said it was glad that authorities had busted the pool party.
“We’ve done a lot of outreach to try and get the students to do the right thing,” spokesman Jeff Stensland said. “Just because a pool is there, you don’t have to swim in it.”
校方還表示，他們還與校外公寓的管理團隊就安全公共衛(wèi)生標準的問題溝通了幾個月，然而，一些公寓并未采取必要措施，阻止新冠病毒在學生租戶之中傳播。
The University of South Carolina has "engaged with management teams at private off-campus apartment complexes for months to educate them on safe public health standards," a university spokesperson told Fox News.
"Unfortunately, some have not yet taken the necessary steps to slow the spread of coronavirus amongst their tenants," the spokesperson said in a statement.
當?shù)厥虚L史蒂夫·本杰明 (Steve Benjamin) 在接受電視采訪時表示，自己在獲知這一消息后相當憤怒。他表示，該市有著明確的防疫規(guī)定，要求大家保持距離、戴好口罩。

“I was furious,” Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin said during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” of getting a call about the pool party from Columbia Fire Chief Aubrey Jenkins. “Our rules are very clear. ... We can enforce the governor’s executive order on spacing and we also have a mask ordinance.”
