Trump campaign to give Oklahoma rally-goers masks, fever checks
Donald Trump
People attending President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday will receive temperature checks, masks and hand sanitizer before entering the arena, a Reuters report stated Republican's campaign as saying.
There have been more than 1 million ticket requests for the indoor rally, said Republican campaign.
The rally is Trump's first in the three months since the new coronavirus curbed travel and shut down the economy.
People lining up to get into the venue will face temperatures forecast to be up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). Precautions will be taken against the heat and there will be bottled water, campaign spokesman Brad Parscale said on Monday on Twitter.
The rally was postponed from Friday after a public outcry because it coincided with Juneteenth and would be held in a city where one of the largest black massacres took place a century ago.

Tulsa's chief health official told a local newspaper on Saturday he was concerned about a large event of any kind taking place indoors when coronavirus infections in the area were rising.
Other health experts have expressed concern the event could be a "superspreader" for the virus, which is seeing a flareup in several states after their economies began to reopen.
