    Mark Meadows says there will not be a ‘national mandate’ on wearing masks

    White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday said a national mandate to wear masks or face coverings “is not in order,” as states experience a surge in cases of the novel coronavirus amid their phased reopening.

    Meadows was asked Monday during an interview with “Fox & Friends” whether there should be a federal mandate on wearing masks, or whether the decision should be left up to the states, as some governors tighten existing orders requiring masks in spaces where social distancing is not possible and others issue new orders for their states.

    “Well, it’s certainly a state-to-state issue, as we look across the country, obviously the narrative is the COVID cases are rising, but testing is rising exponentially. We’ve now tested almost 10 percent of our country,” Meadows said.

    “And yet when we look at masks and the wearing of masks, that's done on a location basis, when you can’t have social distancing, but certainly a national mandate is not in order,” he continued. “We’re allowing governors and mayors to weigh in on that.”
