We strongly denounce the systematic efforts of those who attack Europeans with Asian origins over #coronavirus. This disgusting #racist & #xenophobic rhetoric divides our people & stands to threaten our shared European values. #JeNeSuisPasUnVirus @KMTaylorBerlin @MPriv_o @_LICRA_

A new advert from bed firm @VicVicsmithbeds is banned by @ASA_UK for associating migrants with #Covid_19.
