美國總統特朗普在訪問沃爾特?里德軍事醫療中心時戴上了口罩,這是自新冠疫情發生以來他首次在公眾場合戴口罩。
上周六,特朗普戴著口罩與大約12位醫院官員一起走過走廊,他當天所戴的口罩是海軍藍色的,側面有金色的總統印章。
特朗普會見了受傷士兵和其家屬,以及一直在照顧新冠患者的醫護人員。
特朗普在馬里蘭州貝塞斯達的醫院訪問了大約一個小時。
今年5月,特朗普在參觀密歇根州的福特工廠時被發現戴著口罩,但隨后在媒體面前選擇不戴,稱他不想讓媒體看到他戴口罩的樣子。
盡管包括特朗普自己政黨成員在內的人士都在呼吁他佩戴口罩,但特朗普還是頑固地拒絕采取面部防護措施,無視美國疾病控制和預防中心的指導方針。
上周四,特朗普在接受福克斯新聞采訪時表示,他將在參觀醫院時戴口罩。
“我去沃爾特?里德醫院的時候,將會戴上口罩。你是在一所醫院里,所以我認為這樣做是非常恰當的。”特朗普說道,“如果這讓你們感到舒服的話,我認為戴個口罩也不錯。”
特朗普的這番話與他在新冠疫情期間關于口罩的其他言論形成了鮮明對比,特朗普曾經嘲笑他的民主黨挑戰者喬?拜登戴口罩。調查顯示,是否戴口罩已經成為黨派間辯論的話題。
今年6月,特朗普曾經在俄克拉荷馬州塔爾薩舉行室內集會,該集會不要求參會者佩戴口罩。上周六,特朗普原本要在新罕布什爾州舉辦戶外集會,該集會鼓勵參會者戴口罩,但最后由于附近熱帶風暴的發生而被推遲。
隨著民調支持率的下降以及關于特朗普對病毒處理方式的批評聲不斷上升,近期他對戴口罩的想法似乎有所改變。7月1日,特朗普在接受福克斯商業采訪時一改往日口風,稱“我完全贊成戴口罩。我認為戴口罩非常好”,但他補充道,“我不知道是否需要強制性的。”(財富中文網)

President Donald Trump wore a face mask during a visit to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, a rare instance of doing so publicly as coronavirus cases continue to pile up.
Trump on Saturday was photographed walking with about a dozen officials in the halls of the hospital, wearing a Navy blue mask adorned with a gold presidential seal.
The president was expected to meet combat-wounded service members and their families, as well as health care workers who’ve been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event was the first public photo opportunity in which Trump has appeared wearing a mask since the beginning of the outbreak. Trump spent about an hour at the hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
An image of a masked Trump surfaced during his visit to a Ford Motor Co. factory in Michigan in May. The president didn’t wear the mask during the public portion of the visit to the plant, which was making ventilators, masks and other medical supplies, saying he didn’t “want to give the press the pleasure of seeing” him in the face covering.
Despite repeated calls to do so, including from members of his own party, Trump has stubbornly refused to wear a mask, defying official guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and behavior modeled by members of the White House coronavirus task force, including Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx.
Trump hinted in an interview with Fox News on last Thursday that he was planning to wear a mask during his hospital visit.
“I expect to be wearing a mask when I go into Walter Reed. You’re in a hospital setting, I think it’s a very appropriate thing,” Trump told host Sean Hannity. “It’s fine to wear a mask if it makes you feel comfortable.”
Trump’s remarks were in contrast with others he’s made on face coverings during the pandemic. The president at times has mocked his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, for wearing one. Surveys have shown mask wearing has become a topic of partisan debate.
Trump held a rally in June at an indoor arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where masks weren’t required. An outdoor rally in New Hampshire on last Saturday, where mask-wearing was to have been encouraged, was postponed due to a tropical storm in the vicinity.
With poll numbers falling and criticism of his handling of the pandemic rising, Trump appeared to warm to the idea of wearing a mask in recent weeks. He told Fox Business Network on July 1 that “I’m all for masks, I think masks are good” but added that “I don’t know if you need mandatory.”
