下午5:46:特朗普参观沃尔特·里德医院;第一次戴面具
周六下午,唐纳德·特朗普总统在参观沃尔特·里德医疗中心时第一次戴上了口罩。
特朗普在离开白宫前往医疗中心看望军队之前简短地回答了问题,并表示他将戴上口罩。
特朗普告诉记者:“我认为,当你在医院里,尤其是在与很多士兵和病人交谈的特定环境中,有些人刚从手术台上下来,我认为戴上口罩是一件很棒的事情。”“我从来不反对面具,但我相信它们有时间和地点。”
三个多月前,疾病控制和预防中心建议人们在公共场合戴口罩,但是总统总是说他定期接受检查,所以他没有必要戴口罩。

特朗普确实在5月下旬的福特工厂幕后参观中戴了一个面具,但不是在媒体面前,他说他“不想让媒体有幸看到它。”
特朗普经常因不戴口罩而受到批评,包括上周纽约州长安德鲁·科莫(Andrew Cuomo)的批评:“他在制造病毒。”这是如何变成一个政治声明的?...几个星期以来,我一直要求他这样做。戴上面具,对美国人民说,‘这是真的。这是个问题。"

Coronavirus live updates: Trump wears mask in public for 1st time on visit to Walter Reed
The novelcoronaviruspandemic has now killed more than 562,000 people worldwide.
Over 12.6 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according todatacompiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers arebelieved to be much higherdue to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their nations' outbreaks.
TheUnited Stateshas become the worst-affected country, with more than 3.2 million diagnosed cases and at least 134,712 deaths.
5:46 p.m.: Trump visits Walter Reed hospital; wears mask for 1st time
President Donald Trump wore a mask for the first time in public on a visit to Walter Reed Medical Center on Saturday afternoon.
Trump briefly answered questions before departing the White House to visit troops at the medical center and said that he would wear a mask.
"I think when you're in a hospital, especially in that particular setting where you're talking to a lot of soldiers and people that in some cases just got off the operating tables, I think it's a great thing to wear a mask," Trump told reporters. "I've never been against masks, but I do believe they have a time and a place."
It was more than three months ago that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended people wear masks in public, but the president always said he was regularly tested so it was not necessary he wear one.
The mask included the presidential seal. Face coverings are required at Walter Reed Medical Center, per its policy.
"President Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to visit brave combat wounded service members and their families as well as healthcare staff who have been caring for COVID-19 patients during the pandemic," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.
Trump did wear a mask at a behind-the-scenes tour of a Ford plant in late May, but not in front of the media, saying he "didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it."
Trump has regularly come under criticism for not wearing a mask, including last week from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo: "He is enabling the virus. How did this become a political statement? ... I've been asking him to do it for weeks. Just wear the mask and say to the American people, 'This is real. And it's a problem.'"
5:16 p.m.: Texas sets new record for cases
Texas set a new record of COVID-19 daily cases with 10,351 in the last 24 hours, according to the Department of State Health Services.
Gov. Greg Abbott told local news outlets Friday he thinks the situation will only get worse and is willing to consider further restrictions if necessary.
There have now been 250,462 cases to date. Of those, 119,470 are active, while an estimated 127,800 have recovered.
In the Rio Grande Valley, an area especially hard hit, there are only four available ICU beds and 353 available hospitals beds, according to officials. The Rio Grande Valley has a population of about 1.3 million.
The total death toll in Texas rose to 3,112, with 99 deaths reported since Friday -- four more than yesterday, but six shy of the daily record set Thursday.
More than 2.7 million tests have been administered, with the positivity rate today of 15.81%.
4:55 p.m.: Louisiana to mandate masks, close bars after rise in cases
Louisiana will require the public to wear a mask when social distancing can't be observed, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced.
“When outside in close proximity to others, you’re going to need to have your mask on. ... We know that face masks work," he said.
The mandate comes a day after the state reported 75 new cases, its highest number to date. It will go into effect Monday after midnight.
All bars without food permits will also be closed. Edwards said 36 outbreaks, which affected more than 500 people, were due to bars.
Edwards added that these steps were not ones he wanted to take. However, he said, "We have no reason to believe that the numbers we reported today are going to get better over the next week."
About a month ago there were 542 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state. On Friday, there was a total of 1,182 confirmed cases.
4:41 p.m.: Wisconsin sets another case record
Wisconsin has set a record for most daily cases for the second day in a row, according to its health department.

2:31 p.m.: DeSantis would like to see anything else 'in modern times' tested like Florida
In a press conference Saturday, Florida Gov. DeSantis insisted his state is a leader in coronavirus testing.
"Florida had more tests yesterday than the country as a whole did in March."
He added that he'd like to see anything else "in modern times" tested like Florida is currently testing for coronavirus.
Senate President Bill Galvano said Florida is "frankly better than most states in the union."
The governor said the state reported 95,000 tests on Friday and that it was getting shipments of remdesivir, the anti-viral drug being used to fight COVID-19. New York Gov. Cuomo announced Friday that he was sending a shipment of the drug to Florida.
"There are definitely areas where we think we may be seeing some declining positivity [rates] and some other areas where they're consistently 20%," DeSantis said. "We may be seeing some decline in this part of the Tampa Bay area," he said but said there's more positivity in Pasco County.
"We have a much better idea now versus March about what the viruses likes versus doesn't like," DeSantis said.
The governor said he's working with the White House to get more Lab Reagents in Florida. "The U.S. is testing more than any country by far and the lab resources are backed up."
He said the state signed contracts with companies that could provide tests in 48 hours and said that's just not happening anywhere in the country.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services reported 1,093 hospitalizations and 2,462 new cases Saturday.
"Record-high numbers like today are concerning," NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen, M.D., said in a statement. "We all have a responsibility to one another to wear a face covering, avoid crowds and wash our hands often to get our trends going back in the right direction."
North Carolina has 83,793 confirmed cases from among more than 1.1 million tests.
11:23 a.m.: University reverses course, will be remote this fall
West Chester University, one of Pennsylvania's largest state-owned universities, with 18,000 students, has reversed course and said it no longer plans to bring students back in the fall.
Christopher Fiorentino, the university's president, said in astatementthat learning will continue remotely through the fall semester.
"WCU cannot ignore the potential danger of bringing thousands back to campus," Fiorentino said.
Some classes will be taught in a hybrid format, meaning both in-person and remote learning for students with clinical placements, student teachers and certain internships, according to Fiorentino.
Chester County, where WCU is located, is currently in the Green Phase of reopening, meaning that some of the university's public buildings -- a library, a recreation center, the student union -- will be open but limited to 50% capacity.
"The University understands that students' lives have been turned upside down by a relentless pandemic that continues to sweep across the globe," Fiorentino said. "Our support for our WCU community will not waiver."
10:19 a.m.: New York hospitalizations drop below 800 for 1st time in four months
New York recorded 799 COVID-19 hospitalizations in the last 24 hours, the lowest number since March 18, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The state also posted the lowest three-day average death toll since March 16, with six over the last 24 hours, Cuomo said in a statement.
New York was among the hardest-hit states in the early stages of the pandemic, with New York City especially devastated.
Cuomo applauded the good news, saying New Yorkers who practiced social distancing and wore masks "are central to our ability to slow the spread and save lives."
However, Cuomo also urged people not to become complacent.
"I urge residents to stay 'New York tough' and not give up the ground we've worked so hard to gain together, particularly in the face of rising cases throughout the country and compliance issues here at home," he said.
8:39 a.m.: Clusters of US soldiers test positive for COVID-19 in Japan
A "few dozen" U.S. Marines stationed at two different bases in Okinawa, Japan, have tested positive for COVID-19, according to The Associated Press.
After months of no confirmed coronavirus cases, the Marine Corps said it had two clusters of soldiers who tested positive for the virus this week, according to a statement from Marine Corps Installations Pacific.
The U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force on Okinawa prefecture have now re-imposed strict limits on personnel movements and activities after the new coronavirus cases appeared, according to an internal FEMA memo obtained by ABC News.
Everyone who tested positive is in self-isolation and local commanders have initiated "soft shelter-in-place" orders for Camp Hansen and Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.
All orders are in place until further notice.
Officials said cleaning the base and contact tracing are ongoing.
"As we navigate the current environment we will continue to assess the situation and provide updates as frequently as permissible. We ask everyone to follow the social distancing andhealthprotection measures to help us #KillTheVirus," Marine Corps Installations Pacific wrote on its Facebook page.
5:28 a.m.: Army medical task force heading to Houston as hospitals fill up
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced late Friday night that the United States Army is sending a medical task force to Houston to help with the city's COVID-19 battle.
The additional resources, Abbott said, include an Urban Area Medical Task Force from the U.S. Department of Defense that will arrive on Monday and a Disaster Medical Assistance Team from U.S. Health and Human Services that has just been deployed.
"Texas is grateful to the federal government as well as the President and Vice President for working swiftly to provide additional resources to the state as we work to mitigate COVID-19 and care for our fellow Texans," Abbott said in a statement Friday. "We will continue to work with our local and federal partners to ensure all resources and needs are met throughout the state."
Houston has seen a significant rise in coronavirus cases in recent weeks, which caused many public health officials and hospitals to issue warnings that ICU bed availability is running low. Houston's Texas Medical Center is at 105% capacity.
The city reported 670 new diagnosed COVID-19 cases Friday, bringing Houston's total to at least 26,682. The coronavirus death toll for the city increased by nine to 259.
Numbers are just as jarring throughout the Lone Star State. Texas' statewide COVID-19 death toll reached a single-day high of 105 Friday. The state had a 15.56% positivity test rate, according to an internal Federal Emergency Management Agency memo obtained by ABC News.
Nearly 14% of all new U.S. coronavirus cases in the past seven days have been identified in Texas, the memo said.
The rise in cases also led to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner to cancel the in-person Republican Party convention in the city, prompting a lawsuit by the state GOP.
