CoronaVirus: "Donald Trump says he will not wear any mask".- Only Online Khabar

US citizens have been suggested to wear masks that cover the nose and mouth, but US President Donald Trump has said he will not wear a mask.

US President Donald Trump has said he would not follow the suggestion made by the US Health Organization to wear masks.

He said he could not greet the "President, Prime Minister, dictator, king and queen" of different countries by wearing a mask in his office called the Oval Office.

The United States is now heavily affected by coronavirus infection worldwide. There are more infected people than any other country.

'Voluntary'
He argued that the directive implemented in the United States since Friday was 'voluntary' and was not binding.

"You don't have to wear a mask," Trump said. "I don't think I can wear a mask."

BBC White House Correspondent Tara McKelvie says - During the current epidemic, journalists were particularly interested in whether Trump would wear masks or not.

McKelvie smiled when asked why he didn't want Trump to wear a mask.

Trump's Test
"I've just been tested," Trump said. "I don't have that virus in me. So I don't have to worry about it's spreading."

The US Department of Disease Control and Prevention issued a new health directive on the use of masks as the number of coronavirus infections is increasing in the United States.

In the United States, the death toll from coronavirus has risen to 1,300. That is the highest mortality rate recorded in the world for a period of 24 hours.

New York State is highly affected by Covid-19.

Its chief administrators have requested assistance from other parts of the country. According to him, about 3000 patients have died in New York so far.
