CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19: “I think it’s fine to wear a mask, if it makes you feel comfortable. I think, under certain conditions, like when you are going into a hospital — I will be going to Walter Reed to see some of our great soldiers that have been injured, badly injured, and also see some of our COVID workers, the people that have done such a great job.
And I expect to be wearing a mask when I go into Walter Reed. You’re in a hospital setting. I think it’s a very appropriate thing. I have no problem with a mask.
I don’t think you need one you’re tested all the time, everybody around you is tested, you’re quite a distance. You talk about social distancing. You’re away.”
