"What I can tell you is that at the moment we are not seeing an increase in the number of new cases (coronavirus infection. - RT ) now, about two weeks after the first protests began," Reuters quoted him as saying.
Protests in dozens of US cities began after the death of African-American George Floyd, who died in late May shortly after being detained by police. One of the group of policemen held him, pressing his neck with his knee.
On June 7, it was reported that the number of coronavirus victims in the United States exceeded 110 thousand.
