Ahead of President Trump's visit to a Ford facility in Ypsilanti, MI tomorrow, a Ford spox tells @CBSNews they have informed the White House of their policy that everyone wear a mask, per @cmaioCBS

A Ford spox follows up with @weijia: “As we have said previously, we shared our safety policies and recommendations with the White House in advance of this visit. The White House has its own safety and testing policies in place and will make its own determination.”

Asked if he'll wear as mask at the Ford facility tomorrow, President Trump said, "I don't know. I haven't even thought of it. It depends. Certain areas I would, certain areas I don't. I will certainly look at it...So we'll see. Where it's appropriate I would do it, certainly."

UAW Spox Brian Rothenberg tells @cmaioCBS: "We are proud of the UAW members who are making desperately needed medical equipment in a clean sterile environment. The UAW position has been that anyone entering a facility or plant should follow the agreed upon protocols." @CBSNews

One correction--the President is visiting the Ford facility in Michigan on **THURSDAY** and not tomorrow.

(In my defense I have lost all track of time.)
