Coronavirus is a matter of life and death. But for so many, so is racism.
Before you head outside to join in with the protest, Dr Henrique wants you to ask yourself – are you high-risk? Are you putting yourself and others in danger of becoming ill? Do you have symptoms? How can you ensure that you are staying vigilant outside?
It could be incredibly dangerous for yourself and for people around you chose to attend crowded protests where it would be impossible to social distance.‘If you do have to go outside, stay away from highly populated areas where the virus could potentially transmit across to others and increase chances of second wave,’ Dr Henrique adds.
‘Ensure the mask or scarf fits snug around your face, you will be tempted to pull It down to join in with chants and shouting however keep the mask on at all times if you can.’
