US President Donald Trump wears facemask in public for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
The president was attending the Walter Reed military hospital outside Washington, where he met injured soldiers and health care workers.
“I’ve never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place,” he said as he left the White House.
He has previously said that he would not wear a mask and ridiculed Democratic rival, Joe Biden, for doing so.
“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.”
The change of tone comes as the US records 66,528 coronavirus cases on Saturday, a new daily record.
