President Donald Trump and his family mostly decided not to wear protective face masks while visiting the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday
"I want to protect myself and protect others," Fauci said, "and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that's the kind of thing you should be doing."
Trump and Fauci have differed before, including over how aggressive to be in pushing for schools to resume in-person classes during the pandemic. The Trump family's field trip to the Kennedy Space Center was overshadowed by local weather conditions, which forced the SpaceX and NASA crews to postpone their manned rocket launch about 20 minutes before astronauts were set to take off.
Ivanka, who wore a mask along with her two children Wednesday, self-quarantined in late March after coming in close contact with an Australian official who later tested positive for the coronavirus.
