Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley is concerned President Trump’s upcoming visit to Dayton may lead to a spike in COVID cases.
Last week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said his administration would not enforce social distancing, crowd size limitations or the state's mask mandate for Trump’s political rallies in Ohio.
Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley says that could be a problem.
“We have been doing a lot of work around these efforts that do actually curb COVID. So anytime he goes anywhere, it's a concern that there could be a spike in that community.”
Trump will touch down in Toledo and in Dayton on Monday. The president’s campaign says he’ll deliver remarks on "fighting for the American worker.”
