[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Melania Trump, wife of U.S. President Donald Trump, posted a photo wearing a mask on Twitter on the 9th (local time). This contrasts with President Trump's statement that he would not wear a mask.
On that day, Melania posted on Twitter, "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends wearing a cloth face covering in public places when social distancing is difficult," along with a photo of herself wearing a mask.
She added, "Wearing a mask does not reduce the importance of social distancing," urging cooperation in preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) through both mask-wearing and social distancing.
Earlier, on the 3rd, when the CDC recommended wearing masks, Melania also requested participation through a tweet.
President Trump, despite daily White House briefings and contact with aides and reporters, still does not wear a mask. He has publicly stated that he has no intention of wearing one.
