WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People attending U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Oklahoma this week should wear masks, a White House adviser said on Sunday, as health experts cautioned against large gatherings such as political rallies during the coronavirus pandemic.

New coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in record numbers swept through more U.S. states including Texas, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, while Oklahoma reported record new cases over the weekend..

“It is a concern,” White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “People must observe the safety guidelines, OK, must. The social distancing must be observed. Face coverings in key places must be observed.”

Asked if he believed people attending Saturday’s Trump rally in Tulsa should wear masks, Kudlow said, “Well, OK, probably so.”Trump, a Republican seeking re-election in November, will resume his large campaign rallies after a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus shutdown.

3. They have spent months winding up their base by...

turning masks into a political issue used only by freedom hating weaklings. And now, they are asking them to wear masks?

will be widely ignored.
