During the first presidential debate against Democrat Challenger Joe Biden on Tuesday, Mr Trump reiterated that his decision to hold re-election rallies with a small social distance had no negative consequences and that many observers were not wearing masks.
His friend Herman Cain, a business tycoon and former Republican presidential confidant, tested positive for the corona virus and later died after attending a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma in June, where he was one of several unarmed participants.

Employees around Mr Trump are being tested for the corona virus daily.
The president himself has repeatedly ridiculed the idea of wearing a mask, although he has rarely been seen with one. His CDC director, Robert Redfield, testified at Capitol Hill last month that wearing a mask is an even better way to slow the spread of Govt-19 than a vaccine. In response, Mr Trump said Mr Redfield must have misunderstood the question.
