How to Protest Safely During a Pandemic In light of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, people are taking to the streets to protest police violence.
For those looking to show their support, here is advice for how to stay safe during a protest in the time of COVID-19.
Wear a mask: Just as you would wear a mask to get groceries, it is equally important to keep your face covered while in a large crowd of protestors.
Maintain social distance: Staying six feet apart from fellow protestors may be difficult, but it is important to maintain as much space as possible.
Protect your eyes and body: Tear gas and rubber bullets are common at demonstrations.
Cover up as much as you can to prevent being hurt.
Be cautious with technology: Leave your phone at home if possible to avoid revealing locations and incriminating yourself or others.
