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