One day after US President Donald Trump was spotted wearing a face mask, First Lady Melania Trump released a video of herself in a mask on Sunday during a visit to Mary Elizabeth House last week last.
It is the first time that the public has seen images of the First Lady on facial cover in several weeks.
“It was a pleasure to spend time with staff, mothers and children at Mary Elizabeth House, a place that helps strengthen families and provides life skills, counseling and educational resources to help single women vulnerable and their children. #BeBest, “Melania Trump wrote in a tweet accompanying the video.
The First Lady’s tweet comes a day after President Trump visited Walter Reed Hospital with a face mask. In particular, he had refused for months to wear a face mask in public.

President Trump wore a dark mask during his visit to see injured soldiers, The Hill reported.
Earlier in press conferences, coronavirus task force updates, rallies and other public events, President Trump had never been seen wearing a protective mask.
According to a CNN report, President Trump’s decision came after the campaign of “low-key lobbying” by some White House assistants and political advisers.
Some of his advisers were scared of the sight of so many maskless Trump supporters at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last month and concerned about the outbreak of coronavirus in the south.
The United States is the country most affected by the coronavirus in the world. The country reported more than 61,000 cases on Sunday, the third consecutive daily increase.
More than 3.2 million infections were recorded on Sunday with more than 134,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
