Trump staff ups coronavirus precautions for president as he seeks to move on

The Trump campaign has reportedly scaled up precautions to protect the president after several campaign staffers tested positive for the coronavirus, multiple campaign officials told CNN.

The president has held two indoor campaign rallies in Arizona and Oklahoma in the past week, a move that goes against guidance from public health officials. Attendees at both the Arizona and Oklahoma events were required to agree that they would not sue the hosts if they contracted the coronavirus.

Campaign officials told CNN that although the president does not wear a mask in public, he has voiced increasing concern about contracting the coronavirus and has insisted on upping precautionary measures in the White House and at campaign events.

Every venue he enters is inspected for potential areas of contagion by advance security and medical teams. Bathrooms he uses at these venues are reportedly scrubbed and sanitized before he arrives. Members of the staff also keep a list of who the president is making contact with, CNN reported.

where thousands of people are massed together, hooting and hollering for three hours, there is bound to be all kinds of stuff in the air.
