Cuomo says George Floyd protesters should assume they’ve been exposed to COVID-19

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Thursday that people in New York City protesting George Floyd’s death should assume they’ve been exposed to the coronavirus. “If you were at a protest I would assume you’re exposed,” Cuomo said.

The governor announced the state is opening COVID-19 testing facilities to all people who were at a protest. He urged protesters to act as if they have been exposed by telling those that they live with, and getting tested.

“The protesters themselves could wind up creating a spike,” he said.
