Michigan’s attorney general said Wednesday that President Trump, who so far has refused to wear a mask, has a “legal responsibility” under state law to wear a mask as a coronavirus precaution when he visits a Ford Motor Co. factory Thursday.
Asked Tuesday by reporters if he would wear a mask at the Ford facility, Trump at first said, "I don't know."
But Nessel, in her letter to Trump, wrote that the mask requirement "is not just the policy of Ford, by virtue of the Governor's Executive Orders."The White House had no comment about Nessel's letter, which referenced the fact that a personal valet at the White House who served Trump recently tested positive for Covid-19. The president has repeatedly tested negative for the virus.
"Anyone who has potentially been recently exposed, including the President of the United States, has not only a legal responsibility, but also a social and moral responsibility, to take reasonable precautions to prevent further spread of the virus," Nessel wrote. The order also requires such facilities to screen workers and other people entering the job site, and people in a work site be "kept at least six feet from one another to the maximum extent possible," the letter noted.
