King County acknowledges that many protesters are choosing to take on the risk of potential exposure to #COVID19 because of the importance of confronting and undoing the systems of racism, oppression and brutality.
People are protesting because their lives depend on it.
However, we remain gravely concerned about the possible spread of #COVID19, & for the potential to exacerbate the racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 rates for communities of color, especially for Black, Native, Latinx, and Pacific Islander residents of King County.
We urge all people protesting against racial injustice to take steps to stay healthy and avoid bringing COVID-19 home with them. We need to keep each other healthy now and get to a more just future for everyone. https://publichealthinsider.com/2020/06/10/reduce-your-covid-19-risk-while-protesting/ …pic.twitter.com/nx5nFFX42d
