Several queries are run concurrently and I receive the following error. What can I do to fix the problem ?

File "asyncpg/protocol/protocol.pyx", line 321, in query
File "asyncpg/protocol/protocol.pyx", line 684, in asyncpg.protocol.protocol.BaseProtocol._check_state
asyncpg.exceptions._base.InterfaceError: cannot perform operation: another operation is in progress

Start by reading asyncpg/protocol/protocol.pyx around BaseProtocol._check_state and compare it with the supplied Cursor and concurrent-query example. Check whether the same connection is being used concurrently and determine the expected behavior or documentation scope; done should be a confirmed reproduction with an agreed maintainer direction.
