WASHINGTON, May 12 ― The White House has directed staff working in the West Wing, where the daily operations of President Donald Trump's administration are carried out, to wear masks except when they are at their own desks, two senior administration officials said yesterday. ABC News first reported that the White House had informed its staff in a memo that everyone entering the West Wing would be required to wear a mask or facial covering. Unnecessary visits from other parts of the White House complex to the West Wing area, which includes the Oval Office and work space for senior advisers, was discouraged.
