Tulsa Braces for Trump Rally amid COVID Surge; Holding Rally in Tulsa Draws Outrage from Many

Tulsa, Oklahoma is braced for Donald Trump's first campaign rally since the coronavirus pandemic struck the U.S., The Guardian website reports today (June 20, 2020).

The indoor rally, at Tulsa's 19,000-person capacity BOK Center, comes as the city and state of Oklahoma experience a surge in COVID-19 cases, and local public health officials urge the campaign to reschedule the event.

Trump's decision to hold the mass rally in Tulsa next week has drawn outrage from the local black community as well as others.

Large fences, road blocks, and heavy police presence have already surrounded the area of Trump's rally.
