Biden said he will be wearing a mask if he goes out in public, adding that he hasn’t gone to “commercial places” recently. 

Announcing the new recommendation, Trump said it’s “going to be really a voluntary thing.” 

“You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I’m choosing not to do it, but some people may want to do it, and that’s OK,” he said.

The CDC has previously said that healthy people did not need to wear masks because it would not protect them from contracting the disease. The recommendation was changed after new research released indicated it can help asymptomatic people from knowingly spreading the virus to others.
