Cheers! Neighbors find a way to toast each other while maintaining social distancing rules in Italy.

BELLA, Italy — Social distancing does not mean you can’t celebrate happy hour, according to neighbors in Italy. Residents in the town of Bella came up with a creative way to enjoy drinks together while in quarantine.

New video shows more than half a dozen people using long sticks to hold their glasses and toast from their balconies on April 13.

As of Wednesday, the video had been viewed more than 7.8 million times on Facebook with comments ranging from “quarantine goals” to “this is extreme!”

Neighbors can be heard saying, “Saluti!”
