Even some Trump hotels are requiring masks again as COVID cases spread

As president, Donald Trump discouraged those around him from wearing face masks. But some of the hotels bearing his name are taking a more nuanced stance as the contagious Delta variant fuels a spike in COVID-19 cases, and as federal health officials recommend face coverings inside public spaces in high-risk areas that encompass most of the country.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends wearing masks indoors in public places for those not fully vaccinated as well as for everyone in areas of substantial or high transmission, categories that currently include 94% of U.S. counties. That's in large part because even the fully vaccinated can spread the Delta variant, according to the CDC.  Perhaps in line with ever-changing guidance, calls to Trump properties yielded differing information on rules regarding masks.
