The vice president seemed to go against the Mayo Clinic's policy that a mask be worn in its facility to lessen the risk of infection.
In the footage, Pence stands near a group of people, including a Mayo Clinic employee, while not wearing a facemask. However, the others in the video with Pence are wearing facemasks. In the video, it appears the employee is donating blood.
The Mayo Clinic tweeted shortly after the footage was posted, writing that the vice president was informed of the facility's policy before arriving for his visit.
