Trump campaign says supporters should attend his rally at 'their own risk'

US President Donald Trump

Donald Trump supporters who attend the US President's upcoming election rally must sign a waiver promising not to sue if they catch COVID-19 at the event, according to his campaign website.

Rallygoers are asked to RSVP to gain admission to the event and by registering, they must agree to a disclaimer that states they acknowledge the "inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present."

"By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury," the disclaimer reads.

The rally is being held in the Bank of Oklahoma Center and comes as the city is in phase three of reopening from the coronavirus pandemic.

The Republican billionaire announced on Wednesday, June 10, that he would resume his campaign rallies in 4 states: Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina, despite the coronavirus pandemic that continues to rage in the US.

More than 113,000 people have died in the country of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, while more than two million cases have been recorded.

In Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina, the number of infections has even started to rise again.
