Health officials have called on citizens to wear masks to prevent the spread of the virus, but the issue of wearing masks has become a political issue in the United States. However, US President Donald Trump wore a mask for the first time during a visit to a military hospital.
Donald Trump traveled by helicopter to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the outskirts of Washington and met with health care providers there.
“When you’re in a hospital, I think it’s great to wear a mask,” he told reporters as he left the White House.
The president of the United States became one of the wearers of masks during the epidemic. Most prominent Republicans, including Vice President Mike Pence, have been in favor of wearing masks.
Republican governors are also pushing for the use of masks as the situation in the states deteriorates. However, Donald Trump has refused to wear masks at news conferences, Corona virus task force updates, rallies and other public events.
People close to him told the Associated Press that the president fears the mask will make him look weak, and Donald Trump is concerned that he has focused on the public health crisis rather than the economic recovery.
Donald Trump also mocked Democratic rival Joe Biden for wearing a mask, giving the impression that Joe Biden looked weak.
Masking has led to another political divide in the United States, where Republicans are more reluctant to wear masks than Democrats.
