The White House Corona 19 response team said it had begun an official discussion on how to wear a national mask.

If it doesn't hurt, it has changed from the position that you don't need to buy a mask.

New York Governor Cuomo explained, however, that even if it peaks, it will take a considerable amount of time to descend as it climbs steeply.
