Ten people were arrested and a police officer injured on Sunday at an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne, Australia, where demonstrators claimed the coronavirus was a government-engineered conspiracy designed to control the population, AFP reports.
Around 150 protesters rallied outside Victoria's state parliament to protest against a shutdown aimed at stemming the spread of Covid-19, while also peddling conspiracy theories about the virus.
Health experts credit Australia's success in curbing the spread of Covid-19 to an effective nationwide shutdown.
