Despite the guidance from the CDC, the president says he had no intention of following the advice himself.
This was evident as first lady Melania Trump tweeted:"As the weekend approaches I ask that everyone take social distancing & wearing a mask/face covering seriously."
It is believed the recommendations are a bid to balance political concerns about wanting to preserve as much normalcy as possible with public health concerns that some infections are being spread by people who seem to be healthy, which could infect areas that so far have been mostly spared.
