Dr. Anthony Fauci says “the least” protesters “can do is to consistently wear a mask.”
The director of the National Institution of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the public face of the White House’s coronavirus task force spoke to Vice TV for an episode of “Shelter in Place” that premieres Thursday night.
Congregating in a crowd, as protesters have been in the past month amid unrest over systemic racism, increases the risk of infection transmission, he said.

He went on, “This is particularly true if you don’t wear a mask. Now we know that things like people demonstrating for things that they feel strongly about for issues of social injustice, which are very valid. Whatever you congregating for and you don’t pay attention to physical distancing, you’re increasing the risk of infection.
