共和党主席呼吁特朗普在全国大会上戴上面具:“没有借口”
周二，在唐纳德·特朗普总统在北卡罗莱纳州温斯顿-塞勒姆的机场集会之前，县共和党主席戴夫·普利勒呼吁总统戴上面具。
“没有借口，”普利勒告诉《温斯顿塞勒姆日报》。“他只是需要这么做。”
“这是州长下令的，”普利勒谈到州政府的遮脸法令时说。“入乡随俗。在北卡罗来纳时，按州长说的去做。”
普利勒说:“他(特朗普)是美国公民，但他也是我们国家的客人。”"没有面具，他可能会生病，他可能会责怪州长。"
根据北卡罗莱纳州州长罗伊·库珀的限制，人们在大多数公共场合都必须戴口罩。
两周前，特朗普在夏洛特的共和党全国代表大会开幕式上发表讲话时，并没有戴面具。许多与会者也没有戴面具，尽管RNC方面声称这是强制性的。
Coronavirus news: New York reaches 1 month with infection rate below 1%
A pandemic of thenovel coronavirushas now killed more than 890,000 people worldwide.
Over 27.2 million peopleacross the globehave been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused bythe new respiratory virus, according todata compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The criteria for diagnosis -- through clinical means or a lab test -- has varied from country-to-country. Still, the actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some national governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their outbreaks.
Since the first cases were detected inChinain December, the virus has rapidly spread to every continent except Antarctica.
The United States is the worst-affected country, with more than 6.2 million diagnosed cases andat least 189,122 deaths.
California has the most cases of any U.S. state, with more than 740,000 people diagnosed, according to Johns Hopkins data. California is followed by Texas and Florida, with over 658,000 cases and over 648,000 cases respectively.

GOP county chair calls on Trump to wear mask at NC rally: 'There is no excuse'
Ahead of President Donald Trump's airport rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Tuesday, county GOP chair Dave Plyler is calling on the president to wear a mask.
"There is no excuse,"Plyler told The Winston-Salem Journal."He just needs to do it."
"It's been ordered by the governor," Plyler said of state's face-covering edict. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in North Carolina, do as the governor says."
"He [Trump] is a citizen of the United States, but he is also a guest in our county," Plyler said. "Without a mask, he could get sick, and he could blame the governor."
Under North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper's restrictions, people are required to wear face coverings in most public venues.
Trump did not wear a mask during his trip to the state two weeks ago when he delivered remarks at the start of the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, nor did many of the attendees, despite the RNC claiming it would be mandatory.
