President Donald Trump said Thursday his administration will soon release nationwide recommendations on wearing face masks after initially telling Americans they weren't necessary to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
But a top health adviser on his team strongly cautioned that masks should not lull Americans into a false sense of security that would lead them to abandon social distancing guidelines.
Speaking at a White House task force briefing, Trump said the new guidance would stop short of requiring all Americans to wear face coverings.
"I don't think they'll be mandatory because some people don't want to do that," he said, adding that Americans who do want to wear face coverings can "decide for themselves."

I was I think, the third FReeper to support Trump.
Before he ever came down that escalator.
I have never been opposed to Trump.
I was also a very early supporter of Sarah Palin.
Before John McCain picked her.
I am FAR from a never Trumper.
It wont matter what they say. You cant find any. Amazon is limiting all respiratory protection device sales to government agencies and hospitals. And no one else appears to have any
On this I think you are right of course. Testing upon request or testing upon demand would be a primary indicator that we are going to go back to our jobs and make America great again.
that’s why testing Upon request or on demand probably won’t start happening ever. This crisis is too cool to waste and democrats well use it to the Max to try and move their agenda and destroy the president.
It is absolutely all their living for and if that is not apparent to us by now we need healing of our perception and eyesight so that we can perceive and acknowledge reality.
It’s been over a month now nearly to at least and we’re still doing metrics from the most part by counting the body bags.By now there should have been random Exploratory testing of the public in general and testing by demand.
Um, no. I can’t breathe well in masks (am I doing it wrong?) and I’m not going to stay shut in forever. I will just stay a good distance away from people as I have been. Not coughing or sneezing here. It was so much easier before the lock down when my two stores were open 24 hours I would do my shopping after work in the middle of the night but now I’m forced to go in the late afternoon when everyone else is there.
I see Laredo decide dto impose a $1Kfine on anyone out and not having "some sort of covering over mouth and nose" - I guess the speed trap revenue has been falling off...
Starting to? You make me laugh.
Do you have a citation? I have a number of those. I thought only the N95 masks protected from airborne.
I’m good. Instead of being a wuss wearing a stupid mask.
World wide, 1.35 million people die in traffic accidents annually. You should not drive.
Everything is relative.
Any mask at all, offers much more protection than none.
On the other hand, even an N-95, is not 100% protection, and keep in mind your eyes are vulnerable, as are your hands, and even your shoes.
Even money. Doors.
But even a very simple homemade mask, is a MASSIVE improvement.
