President Donald Trump's campaign says he will not speak outdoors in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after massive crowds he had hoped for failed to materialize.
As AP's Ben Thomas reports, the president's decision came after six of his campaign staff came down with the coronavirus.
The Trump campaign says the staff members were helping set up the event and as soon as the results were known, quarantine procedures were put in place. None of the staff members will attend the event and not will anyone who had any contact with them.
Campaign officials say everyone attending the rally will be given temperature checks before they pass through security. They will also be given masks to wear if they choose and hand sanitizer.
The rally is expected to be the biggest indoor event the country has seen since restrictions to prevent the coronavirus from spreading began in March.
Tulsa has seen COVID-19 cases spike in the past week.

A U.S. judge on Saturday denied a request by the Trump administration for an injunction to block publication of a book by former national security adviser John Bolton.
We get more in this report produced by Reuters Jonah Green.
The administration had sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the publication of "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," saying it contained classified information and threatened national security.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said that (quote) "While Bolton's unilateral conduct raises grave national security concerns, the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy," adding (quote) "Defendant Bolton has gambled with the national security of the United States."
But the judge also said it was too late (quote) "With hundreds of thousands of copies around the globe -many in newsrooms - the damage is done."

Pope Francis on Saturday held his first audience for a group of people since Italy lifted its coronavirus lockdown.
As Olivia Chang reports, the pontiff granted the audience to health workers from the Italian region most affected by the pandemic.
Doctors and nurses gathered in Vatican's Clementine Hall wearing masks and respecting social distancing rules.
The pontiff praised them for being "angels" and thanked them for their self-sacrifice and professionalism.
He singled out how doctors and nurses had loaned their cell phones to dying patients so they could say their final goodbyes to their loved ones - calling it (quote) " a gesture of creativity and love."
Italy returned to relative normality on June 3 when Italians were allowed to move between regions again. But rules such as social distancing in public and wearing masks are still in effect.
