Gatherings of fewer than 100 people are now permitted, meaning massive protests are still illegal under the state's gradual reopening plan.
Protests broke out in Washington, D.C., over the weekend as well.
Bowser said on Meet the Press Sunday that people who participate in protests should also get tested for the coronavirus, as social distancing is difficult in large crowds.

The stock market had a strong start for June, ending higher later Monday despite a weekend of tense protests that could lead to the second wave of COVID-19 and economic downturn.
