The White House’s coronavirus testing czar said Sunday that there is no downside to wearing a mask, pushing back on President Trump.
Adm. Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, declined to say during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” whether there should be a nationwide mask mandate to stem the spread of coronavirus. But he added, “it’s very important that, unless you’re in a state that is really cold and the percent positives are very low and the cases are decreasing, it is really essential to wear a mask in public.”
Trump wore a mask in public for the first time on Saturday after refusing to do so for weeks and suggesting at one point that wearing a mask is a “double-edged sword.
