White House Thanksgiving proclamation calls for Americans to 'gather' even as Covid-19 surges

This year's proclamation also included sections dedicated to addressing the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump has frequently flouted public health warnings and hosted large groups at the White House for events that have later been deemed superspreaders, including a ceremony for new Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, after which the President tested positive for coronavirus.

And despite warnings from public health officials -- including the US Surgeon General -- not to hold large gatherings, many of this year's public and private White House holiday events are scheduled to still take place in a smaller fashion.

First lady Melania Trump on Monday oversaw the arrival of the White House Christmas tree maskless, at one point posing for pictures with the tree farmers, who removed their own masks.

And on Tuesday, an unmasked Trump pardoned a turkey in the White House Rose Garden in front of a masked crowd.
