Will the protests lead to a spike in coronavirus cases? Experts aren't sure since protests are outdoors, which is understood to lessen the spread.
It’s unclear whether there will be a surge in COVID-19 infections among the thousands of people who have left their homes to participate in nationwide protests over police brutality.
It’s a sentiment echoed by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, who told Politico this week that “there is every reason to expect that we will see new clusters and potentially new outbreaks moving forward.” Then there is the bigger issue, of people who say that the risk of contracting the virus outweighs their anger over the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on communities of color and decades of frustration over police brutality and the killings of black people.
The role of talking in spreading the virus has increasingly become an area of focus for researchers. After a symptomatic individual attended a choir practice in Washington state in mid-March for two and a half hours, about 86% of the 60 people who attended practice on March 10 were later diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a May 15 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Beyond open-air protests, activist groups have already been urging jails, prisons, and detention centers in New York City to release certain people over COVID-19 concerns. Similar concerns, about contracting the coronavirus, are also being raised by protesters who have been arrested.
