The authorities had sent warnings for not wearing the mask within the domain.
This Friday, March 19, the American media confirmed that the Mar-a-Lago club, where former President Donald Trump resides, had become a hotbed of Covid-19 cases. Several staff members were infected. Although their number was not made public, the situation was deemed sufficiently worrying that action should be taken.
A dangerous precedent last January
In an email sent to the Washington Post, club management specifies that ” as some of our staff have recently tested positive for Covid-19, we are temporarily suspending services at the Beach Club and the Dining Room “. The other parts of the club are still operational, the establishment ensuring that ” all appropriate measures in accordance with the directives Federal authorities were taken.
Back in January, photos showed that many Mar-a-Lago guests did not wear masks at the New Years Eve party. Palm Beach County then sent the club a warning. Since January 20, Donald Trump has settled in the club, a few days after being vaccinated in the most total discretion. Last October, he had to be hospitalized after being infected with Covid-19.
The coronavirus cases attested this week in Mar-a-Lago are quite problematic for the club. Next month, the Republican National Committee (RNC) spring retreat is due to stick to it, at least until the outbreak forces the event to be canceled.
