Germany had that one big anti-mask protest, and all the govt is asking is that they wear masks and take reasonable precautions:

Police ordered demonstrators to disperse at the end of the afternoon. They said they had launched legal action against organisers for not respecting coronavirus hygiene rules.
Health Minister Jens Spahn criticised people for failing to adhere to regulations, including the 1.5m (5ft) social distancing requirement.
"Yes, demonstrations should be allowed even amid the pandemic. But not like this," he wrote on Twitter.
Social distancing rules and hygiene requirements apply throughout the country, and people must wear face-coverings in shops and on public transport. Mandatory testing has been introduced for holidaymakers returning from high-risk areas.
