Minnesota's governor said too many protesters weren't socially distancing or wearing masks after heeding the call earlier in the week.
“But I have to protest for my life and fight for my life all the time.”.
Ingram, 25, who was wearing a mask, said she has asthma and was worried about contracting the virus.
But she said as a black woman, she always felt that her life was under threat from police and she needed to protest that.
The state's health commissioner had warned just days earlier that the massive protests were almost certain to fuel new cases of the virus.
In China, where the virus outbreak began, only four new confirmed cases were reported Saturday, all brought from outside the country.
The government had been expected to end a 2-month-old nationwide lockdown but instead extended measures in some areas due to coronavirus outbreaks. »
