LONDON - More than a thousand people gathered in central London on Saturday to protest against lockdown measures aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus, before the event was broken up by police.

Demonstrators carried banners saying"Covid is a hoax" and"My body, my choice: No to mandatory masks", as well as chanting at police:"Choose your side". "This, coupled with pockets of hostility and outbreaks of violence towards officers, means we will now be taking enforcement action to disperse those who remain in the area," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
