Coronavirus conspiracy theorists are preparing to protest at capital cities around Australia this weekend, sparking fears of further outbreaks. 

Anti-maskers are planning a 'Stand for Victoria freedom march' at local Anzac memorial sites on Saturday across the country, except for Melbourne which is in strict Stage Four lockdown.  

The rally, set to take place at midday, was organised in a Facebook group with more than 33,000 members. 

One of the members called on the group to 'get together for every single Victorian' in a rambling video posted earlier this week.
