Trump says he would wear a mask in close quarters -Fox Business

U.S. President Donald Trump, who has avoided being seen in public wearing a face covering, said on Wednesday he would wear a mask if he were in close quarters with other people in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

"I'm all for masks," Trump told Fox Business Network. "If I were in a tight situation with people I would absolutely" wear a mask, he added.

Trump said, however, he did not think mask-wearing needed to be made mandatory nationwide "because you have many places in the country where people stay very long distance."
