In the United States, anti-lockdown protesters have been joined by a motorcade of bikers, as people held a demonstration near Albany�s Capitol building, decrying New York Governor Andrew Cuomo�s handling of the coronavirus crisis and demanding restrictions to be lifted.

Motorcyclists were seen arriving, joining the demonstrators, who waved US flags and carried signs opposing the quarantine on Saturday, despite the state�s ban on all non-essential gatherings aimed at stopping the spread of the virus.

As of Friday, parts of New York were reopened, with all state beaches also expected to open for Memorial Day weekend.

The US has been the worst-hit nation by the coronavirus outbreak. According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, over 1,466,000 confirmed cases have been recorded in the country, with over 88,700 virus-related deaths.
