STURGIS, SD - AUGUST 07: Johne Riley walks down Main Street showing off his chest painted with a portrait of President Donald Trump during the 80th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on August 7, 2020 in Sturgis, South Dakota. While the rally usually attracts around 500,000 people, officials estimate that more than 250,000 people may still show up to this year's festival despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Last week, two people have tested positive for the coronavirus after attending President Donald Trump‘s North Carolina rally.
North Carolina’s Gatson County Department of Health and Human Services has assured that the cases do not appear to be an indication of spread at the rally.
One of those who tested positive was a local reporter who tweeted how he was wearing a mask during the entire rally. However, the reporter also added that “due to Secret Service protocols, there were several times when social distancing wasn’t possible.”
