MIAMI – Protests around the United States against police brutality have sparked fears of a further spread of the coronavirus, while South Korea is reporting a steady rise in cases around the capital after appearing to bring the outbreak under control.
The often-violent protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who was pinned at the neck by a white Minneapolis police officer, are raising fears of new virus outbreaks in a country that has more confirmed infections and deaths than any other.
The protests come as more beaches, churches, mosques, schools and businesses reopen worldwide, increasing the risk of cross-infections. (AP)
