A HOUSE party in Chicago was seen bursting at the seams with lockdown-flouting revellers.

The home in the west side of the city reportedly saw 1,000 party attendees.

TMZ reports there were over a thousand bodies crammed into the space, with 100 to a room.

Speaking to MTO News, one partygoer said: "[There] were about 1,000 people in the yard and in the house. It was really crowded and hot."

He continued: "I'm not worried about [coronavirus] . . . but if I didn't have it before, I probably got it now. Oh well."

Chicago is currently under a stay-at-home order as citizens are encouraged to avoid socializing to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The antics echo those of Spring Breakers earlier this year, who sparked outrage across the country by heading out to party despite warnings to stay inside.

More than 200 people University of Texas students ignored public health officials' advice to avoid nonessential travel and went to Cabo San Lucas from March 14 to 19.

The students, many of whom were later found out to be members of the Kappa Alpha Thera sorority, flew to the popular vacation spot on a chartered plan.

Other vacationers returned to Texas on commercial flights, according to Vice News.

Just a day before the students jetted off for some fun in the sun, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a statewide emergency on March 13 due to the coronavirus.
