West Wing visitors, staff need to wear masks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe White House is requiring everyone who enters the West Wing to wear a mask or face covering, after a couple of coronavirus cases near President Donald Trump.
A memo sent to all staff outlines the new directive, after two staffers last week tested positive for COVID-19.
The memo says: “We are requiring everyone who enters the West Wing to wear a mask or facial covering.”
Staff will be allowed to remove their face coverings if they sit at least six feet apart from their colleagues.
The directive is meant to protect the president, who refrains from wearing a mask in public and in private.
