- Country:
- United States
President Donald Trump announced Friday new government recommendations for all Americans to wear masks when they go outside to help deter spread of the coronavirus
Trump told a White House press conference that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was urging people to wear any face covering, like scarves, but to keep medical-grade masks free for health workers
"It's going to be really a voluntary thing," he underlined. "You don't have to do it and I'm choosing not to do it, but some people may want to do it and that's okay."
