As novel coronavirus caseloads continue to surge across the South and West, officials are hoping that mandatory mask-wearing can stop a rapidly spiraling outbreak. On Wednesday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) reversed his previous stance and authorized local governments to require face coverings in public, while Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) mandated masks for more than half her state’s population. Several Southern cities — including Memphis; Montgomery, Ala.; and Fayetteville, Ark. — have also made masks compulsory in recent days.
Despite record numbers of new coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in several states, President Trump said Wednesday that the United States will not shut down again.
“We won’t be closing the country again,” Trump told Fox News’s Sean Hannity in a telephone interview late Wednesday. “We won’t have to do that.” So far, 115,000 people are reported to have died of the virus in the United States, with more than 2,150,000 cases diagnosed.

MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) — A group of 16 friends all tested positive for coronavirus after a night out at a recently reopened Florida bar.
Three members of the group, who spoke to CNN’s Chris Cuomo Tuesday, said they want to remind the public that the pandemic is not over yet.
“We want to raise awareness and get ahead of it,” Kat Layton told Cuomo. “We want to tell people it’s really not ready for what we thought it was ready for, it’s too soon.”
The group had gathered for a friend’s birthday at Lynch’s Irish Pub in Jacksonville Beach on June 6, the same weekend bars reopened in Florida. The bar was crowded, and no one was wearing masks.
“Standing there in front of those people, we knew we were pushing it,” Layton said.
At the time, the virus was “out of sight, out of mind” since they didn’t know anyone who had contracted it and they heard from their mayor and governor that everything was fine, Erika Crisp said. But within days, they started getting sick.
“Receiving the text messages that my friends were just boom, positive, boom, positive, boom, positive, back to back to back, it was overwhelming,” Dara Sweat told Cuomo.
Everyone in the group tested positive; and though some had flu like symptoms, none got seriously ill.
