U.S. Announces Travel Restrictions

“The Trump administration on Saturday announced additional travel restrictions affecting Iran, Italy and South Korea in response to the coronavirus outbreak, following the first death from the virus in the United States,” the Washington Post reports.

“Vice President Pence said the existing travel ban on Iran would extend to foreign nationals who had been in that country the past 14 days. The State Department also is increasing its warning advising Americans not to travel to parts of Italy and South Korea affected by the virus.”

Reuters reports the administration “is considering imposing entry restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border to control the spread of the new coronavirus in the United States.”
