More protests calling for end of lockdown across US

There are planned protests across the US as people call for the end of lockdown measures in several states.

The curbs, which include stay-at-home orders, are needed to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Facebook pages are calling for gatherings in Maryland, Wisconsin, Virginia and Pennsylvania. It is unclear how many people will attend. The four groups have more than 100,000 members combined.

Earlier this week thousands attended a demonstration in Michigan, which appears to have inspired the protests.

So far demonstrations against the shutdown have also been held in Ohio, North Carolina, Minnesota, Utah, Virginia and Kentucky.

President Donald Trump has been criticised for appearing to endorse the protests. In a series of tweets, he wrote: “LIBERATE MINNESOTA”, “LIBERATE MICHIGAN” and then “LIBERATE VIRGINIA”.
