Coronavirus outbreak: Trump claims he did not need a mask while on factory tour

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he didn’t need to wear a mask during tour in Honeywell International Inc. factory in Arizona after consulting with the company’s chief executive, despite requirements at the plant that workers wear them. “I can’t help it if you didn’t see me. But I had a mask on, but I didn’t need it. And I asked specifically the head of Honeywell … and he said you don’t need one,” Trump said.
