After months of being told to stay inside, to keep our distance from other people, now, we’re watching hundreds of thousands of people gather on the streets to protest police brutality and racial injustice, making an already deadly situation more complex.
Dawna Friesen speaks with Dr. Onye Nnorom, a family Doctor and the Associate Program Director of the Public Health & Preventive Medicine Residency Program at the University of Toronto, about the challenges and concern of having so many people protesting together in close proximity knowing COVID-19 hasn’t gone away but also what it signals in terms of the level of outrage around racial injustice.
