Oklahoma Supreme Court Rejects Call for Mandatory Masks at Trump Rally

VOA News

   The Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected a request to require everyone
   attending President Donald Trump's campaign rally Saturday in Tulsa to
   wear face masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

   The state court ruled Friday that several local residents who made the
   request for all rally attendees to wear face masks could not establish
   they a had clear legal right to seek such a mandate.

   The Trump campaign said organizers would be providing masks and hand
   sanitizer to all who want them. Organizers will be checking the
   temperature of all attendees to guard against the spread of the virus.
   The campaign said it is taking "safety seriously" as some health
   experts have warned that the large gathering could promote the spread
   of the coronavirus.
