George Floyd death: Minnesota governor expresses concern for COVID-19 contact tracing amid mass protests

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Monday encouraged those protesting the death of Black man George Floyd in police custody, who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, to get tested for the novel coronavirus and self-isolate. In the event a protester tested positive for the virus, Walz said he “can’t imagine” what contact tracing would look like on this massive of a scale due to the crowds.
