At least one hundred people have gathered at the front of the Idaho Capitol in the US to burn masks in a protest against measures taken to limit infections and deaths caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Some groups said mask mandates are a restriction of their freedoms. Health experts say they help slow the spread of the disease.
Videos posted on social media showed adults encouraging children to toss masks into a fire.
In a series of videos, people of all ages are seen walking up to a blue metal drum in which a fire is burning and throwing disposable masks inside.
Fellow protesters can be heard laughing and cheering after the masks are set alight.

Some carried signs reading "we are free" and "no masks".
Darr Moon, who said he is one of the organisers of the event, said people had rallied against the direction their state government was taking.
"We're standing here today to rein back government," he said.
