People 'furious' over lack of distancing at protests says MPpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 9 June 2020
Image source, UK ParliamentConcerns over protesters not observing social distancing measures and spreading coronavirus have been aired in the House of Commons.
West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin said: "So many people who have made so many difficult sacrifices during lockdown are now furious to see the lack of social distancing in some of the protests."
Addressing the Health Secretary Matt Hancock, she said people wanted to know what impact it might have had on the reproduction rate of the virus.
Mr Hancock replied that it was "incredibly important" that people follow social distancing rules and those that didn't do so during demonstrations risked increasing the spread of Covid-19.
"It is a mistake for people to participate in demonstrations that help to spread this vile disease. Instead we should all be acting to do our bit to reduce that spread.”
