Thousands of people gathered around a convention center in Tulsa, Okla., to attend President Trump’s first rally in months, which his campaign pitched as a celebration of a “great American comeback.”
Rally organizers conducted temperature checks and handed out sanitizer and masks to people as they entered the security perimeter around the BOK Center. But at least one of the organizers told attendees they only had to wear the masks until they got through security. Many people immediately removed their masks upon entering.
"I'm not that worried about it," Dolores Van Eaton, 82, said while waiting to join the tightly packed crowd. Daniel McKenzie, 63, of Edmond, Okla., and his brother David, of Tulsa, also said they weren't concerned about the virus. He said that the transmission rate was relatively low and few people have died in the state. According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, 368 people in Oklahoma have died of Covid-19.Six members of Mr. Trump's campaign staff working on the Tulsa rally tested positive for the virus, the campaign reported Saturday.
