There have been daily protests since George Floyd died on May 25 and as protests grow - so do fears that there will be a spike of Coronavirus cases.

People who have protested within the last two weeks are advised to get tested for COVID-19.

"I do think there is a potential, unfortunately, for this to be a seeding event," says Dr. Robert Redfield, Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Redfield says the risk of getting infected is more likely larger in cities that haven’t controlled outbreaks.

"Minneapolis happens to be one is still having significant transmission, D.C. is another one.  We really want those individuals to highly consider being evaluated," says Dr. Redfield.

Although some protesters wear masks, there’s minimal social distancing within the crowds and tear gas, used occasionally by law enforcement, can make people cough and increase the likelihood of spreading the virus.

"We have advocated strongly, the ability to have face coverings and masks available to protesters, so that they can at least have those coverings," says. Dr. Redfield.

The CDC published a forecast Thursday, that predicts more than 127,000 deaths in the United States by June 27.

Researchers say the date projects a decline in weekly coronavirus deaths, but that could change if it thrives among protesters.

The CDC's national ensemble forecast is based on 20 individual forecasts and only focuses on the upcoming month.

There are nearly 1.9 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins University.
