His rival, Joe Biden, speaking during his presidential campaign in Ohio, accused the president of "reckless behaviour" and downplaying the covid-19 infection.

The two presidential candidates are currently in race to secure votes for the upcoming November 3 election. With just three weeks left for the election, the personal attacks and rivalry between the two candidates have even sharpened.

States like Ohio and Florida will play a major role in gathering votes needed to become the next President of the US.

Trump, during his rally, mocked Biden's decision to hold socially-distanced rallies. He said that his Democratic challenger is imposing limited because he can not attract crowd.

The United States remain the worst-affected country by the coronavirus pandemic. As of now, more than 200,000 Americans have lost their lives to the deadly virus and the number could rise significantly as cases continue to increase.

Public health experts have warned a sharp spike due to what they called "winter wave of infections".
