Title (Dublin Core)

No known COVID-19 cases linked to anti-racism march in early June

Description (Dublin Core)

An article discussing a statement by Ottawa's Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Vera Etches, stating that there have been no confirmed cases of covid-19 associated with anti-racism protests early in June. The fear was that the large congregation of people, some of whom not practicing physical distancing, would spread the virus, but it appears sufficient precautions were taken by protesters.
"Ottawa's medical officer of health, Dr. Vera Etches, says she is not aware of any known COVID-19 cases that have been linked to a Black Lives Matter demonstration in early June.

"'I'm not aware of any cases that have been determined to have occurred because of the event,' Dr. Etches told reporters Wednesday following City Council."
