Daily White House news conferences ended soon after Mr Trump suggested, in April, during freewheeling remarks from the podium, that
the virus might be treated by injecting bleach into people.
In his first White House coronavirus briefing for months on Tuesday, a more scripted president echoed what public health officials on his pandemic task force have been saying as he warned: "It will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better."
He added: "We're asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance, wear a mask, get a mask.
"Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact, they'll have an effect and we need everything we can get."
Mr Trump also asked all Americans to wear face coverings, saying "they'll have an effect" and show "patriotism".
Mr Trump appeared on Tuesday without the medical experts who used to address the briefings and was not wearing a mask.
The president is facing an uphill climb to re-election in November against Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, according to opinion polls.
A complete volte-face .....
