They could be quite a bit different.
I suspect that although far from universal social distancing was practised and masks were worn by some at the demos. Nothing like as close together as in the stands etc at Cheltenham or at Anfield for the Athletico match. Both of those events also involved significant international travel and at Cheltenham the jockeys were flown in and out in choppers or small planes as they moved from one meeting to another.
Not saying there's no possibility of the demos involving infection or participants being a vector between places where rates of infection vary but not convinced it's on same scale as pre Covid where such things were not considered.
