On June 20, 2020, US President Donald Trump held his first rally since the pandemic began, despite concerns from health authorities that it could further spread the highly-contagious virus.
Two more members of Trump's campaign staff, who helped organize the rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have tested positive for Covid-19, the campaign announced on June 22, 2020.
According to campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh, the two staffers were wearing masks during the entire event.
"Upon the positive tests, the campaign immediately activated established quarantine and contact tracing protocols," Murtaugh said.
