Yes.

White House officials and President Trump are expected to make a major change in guidance related to how Americans can protect themselves against the coronavirus. They are expected to recommend that Americans that are living in hot spots or areas that are hardest hit by the coronavirus, that those people should wear cloth face masks.

Now, that's different from the N95 masks that health care workers use and the ones that are in dire shortage for them. They still want those kind of masks to be focused on health care workers. But they are going to be asking Americans who are in community spread areas that are hardest hit by the virus to do that.

This is a major reversal. The CDC had not been recommending this. I'm told that an announcement expected in the next day or so or possibly this weekend. It hasn't happened yet.

But my sources at the White House tell me that it is coming fairly soon.
