Reduce Your Risk To COVID-19 While Protesting

Public Health Seattle King County acknowledges that many protesters, particularly Black, Indigenous and People of Color, are choosing to take on the risk of potential exposure to COVID-19 because of the importance of confronting and undoing the systems of racism, oppression and brutality.

• Consider staying home if you have an underlying health condition, or are 60 or over.

Carry shatterproof goggles, a face covering, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, water bottle, snacks, an ID, and any medication you may need (for example, an inhaler).

• Take care of your physical and mental health.

You should also avoid contact with others until you have been tested, particularly those who may be at greater risk of severe COVID-19 illness.
