NZ protesters flouting alert level 2 restrictions

People making a stand against racism during alert level 2. The prime minister supports the stand against racism but not the march that took place in Auckland. Herself and microbiologist Dr Siouxsie was disappointed that level 2 restrictions were flouted on Monday's rally.

Muller says NZ Black Lives Matter protests made mockery of Covid ...Jacinda Ardern' point of view is that she supported the stand against racism but did not support the march because if only one among the many protesters had covid-19 "just think what could happen because we've seen it before.
Winston Peters was against the march that was held on Monday. He said that the organisers of the protest should have been prosecuted. "If they condone that and there's no prosecution of the organisers of these two events then why are we not in alert level 1" says Winston Peters.

My opinion on this is that I obviously do agree with the message that the protesters were trying to deliver and trying to make a stand against racism, but just like the Prime Minister I do not support that over 100 people gathered together flouting level 2 restrictions and social distancing. If there was another outbreak of covid-19 there could have been a possibility we could have gone back to square one.
