‘It’s really the worst thing they can do from the pandemic standpoint …’

Protests sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers have now spread to all 50 U.S. states, and spread internationally to countries such as Canada, Germany, and France.

“I am deeply concerned about a super-spreader type of incident. We’re going to see a spike in COVID-19,” Walz said. With protests having also arrived in Canadian cities in recent days, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam said that ‘virtual protest’ is the safest option for people wanting to march against racism and police brutality. But, should that advice fall on deaf ears, she and other health officials have provided guidelines for people who choose to gather in public spaces.

Seriously 😂😂😂😂

I doubt it! They're not too concerned about it! They want to get their voice out there at all costs even if it means infecting everyone else!

They all shudda been charged and fined for violating the 5 person rule. Double standard again from govt

Not the least bit concerned...itll be shared responsibility ....and consequences ncessarily if one does not adhere to scrupulous and necessary ways.

Covid-19 Didn’t stop police officers from doing this either did it?

Covid only attacks lockdown protesting and people hanging at the park, these recent protests are immune from the virus because covid is woke, it’s simple science

People got fired for sitting in a park. We called them reckless. Circles got painted, but sure it is ok protest.

Of course they can’t protect themselves but give them a couple of weeks and they’ll be blaming the system when they are infected.

I really don't care! All of this narrative is absolute bullshit!

No

Anyone can protect themselves from a fake pandemic, do politicians really think everyone is an idiot or what?

Really?

Screaming shooos Covid19 away ! Clinical trials pending☝😉

No, and I can’t say I’m disappointed when it comes to the rioters. My thoughts are with George Floyd and his family and not the static.

I only know of one racist for sure in Canada!

I’d laugh if they all caught it lol

Imagine being the person who received a ticket for being in the park? How ticked off are you now?

Wait til they go home & infect their households.

Not protesting the right thing

Hopefully not

It’s over people its over....

of course they can, only runners, walkers, movie goers etc. cannot

Where was this take when there were people protesting against the shutdown a few weeks ago? Lots of unmasked people in Queens Park and other cities. 🙄
