Protest safety during COVID-19Chanting, yelling, and speaking loudly releases more droplets, increasing the risk of spreading COVID-19. This makes distancing especially important.Consider your risk before you go. Who do you live with? If you are arrested, you will have to isolate for ~2 weeks. Will you be able to go home?Public restrooms are less available. Consider alternative places to go. It is not safe to intentionally dehydrate yourself.Stay as physically distant from other protesters as possible.Bring extra hand sanitizer or masks (if you can) to pass out to people.When eating snacks or drinking water, stand far outside the protest so you can safely unmask.Think through transportation ahead of time, as public transportation might not be available (or safe)Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood street medic -- source link
