Donald Trump is going to play golf in the midst of a pandemic
US President Donald Trump was seen this Saturday practicing his favorite sport, golf, at his club on the outskirts of Washington, after several weeks of not moving to some of his properties due to the coronavirus emergency. .
Dressed in a white T-shirt and cap, the president was captured by local media playing golf surrounded by members of the Secret Service and other companions who remained at a certain distance from him. The NBC network indicated that the president returned to one of his golf courses after 75 days. This Saturday, Trump visited his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.

The version indicated that the last time that Trump was in one of his properties was during the weekend of March 6, when he moved to Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach (Florida), where a day later he had dinner with the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
After that visit, it was learned that the Brazilian government's press officer, Fabio Wajngarten, tested positive for coronavirus, as well as the Brazilian ambassador to Washington, Nestor Forster, and one of the senators from that country, Nelsinho Trad.
NBC said that although the president has twice visited Camp David, the traditional official retreat of US leaders in the Catoctin mountains of Maryland, it is not clear if he has played golf during those work weekends.

This is the first day of a long weekend in the United States for the celebration, on Monday, of Memorial Day, which traditionally marks the beginning of summer in the country.
This weekend, Los Angeles has opened beaches and parks to the public with certain restrictions, a measure that has also been adopted by the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
New York City only allows citizens to walk or sit while maintaining social distance and wearing a face covering on the beaches, which are still closed due to the impact of COVID-19, which has claimed more than 21,000 lives in the Big Apple.
