President Donald Trump said he won’t follow new recommendations from federal officials for wearing masks, emphasizing that wearing a mask is up to each person.

“With the masks, it’s going to be, really, a voluntary thing. You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I’m choosing not to do it, but some people may want to do it, and that’s OK,” Trump said at a press conference in Washington on Friday night, where officials announced the guidelines.
