Pence and Trump to continue shaking hands amid coronavirus

Vice President Mike Pence said he and President Trump will continue to shake hands with people for the near future despite the spread of the coronavirus.

“As the president has said, in our line of work, you shake hands when someone wants to shake your hand,” Pence said at a press conference Tuesday. “And I expect the president will continue to do that. I’ll continue to do it. What this is is a broad recommendation for Americans, but a really good recommendation is to wash your hands often.”
