Audience for Trump’s Speech Won’t Be Tested

August 27, 2020 · 1:09 pm ET · Leave a Comment

The “guest guidance” document notes that audience members must wear protective face coverings upon their arrival at the White House, and in high traffic areas, but can eschew masks during the president’s speech — when cameras are likely to pan to the crowd gathered on the South Lawn.
