'There should be no stigma': McConnell urges wearing a mask in public

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell encouraged people to wear face masks when they were in public to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“There should be no stigma attached to wearing a mask,” McConnell said at an event in his home state of Kentucky on Wednesday. “And even among age groups that are least likely to either contract this disease or die from it, you could be a carrier. So I think what we all need to do is say, ‘OK, I’m going to take responsibility not only for myself but for others.’”
