President Trump announces the CDC recommendation that Americans voluntarily wear non-medical face masks in public after weeks of saying they shouldn't
President Donald Trump said Friday his administration was now recommending Americans wear"non-medical cloth" face coverings, a reversal of previous guidance that suggested masks were unnecessary for people who weren't sick.
Trump said the recommendations, which came after a week of heated deliberations inside the White House, were voluntary and that he would not partake."I don't think I'm going to be doing it," he said, going on to suggest it was hard to envision such a thing in the Oval Office:"Wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens — I just don't see it.
