Iran Press/America: Despite the Coronavirus pandemic that continues to rage in the US, Trump announced on Wednesday (June 10) that he would resume his campaign rallies in four states, Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina.
Attendees for the June 19 Donald Trump rally are being asked to acknowledge "an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19" and agree not to hold the campaign liable.
In Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina, the number of infections has even started to rise again.
Trump supporters must sign a waiver on his campaign website to register for the first of the rallies, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19.
"By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to Covid-19 exists in any public place where people are present," the waiver states.
"By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to Covid-19 and agree not to hold" the Trump campaign, or any of its affiliates, contractors, or employees responsible, it continues.
The page makes no mention of other measures to control the spread of the virus, such as wearing masks.
In the USA, there have been more than 2 million confirmed cases and near to 114 thousand deaths from the virus; US stocks dropped sharply on Thursday as investors weighed sobering economic forecasts and new data, along with indications that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from subsiding. 212/ 104
