Trump Backs Off Quarantine of New York Area

President Trump tweeted Saturday night that he has asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a “strong Travel Advisory” but that a quarantine on the New York region “will not be necessary,” the Washington Post reports.

New York Times: “He had offered no details about how his administration would enforce a ban on the movements in or out of the three northeastern states. However, he said the restrictions would not prevent truckers from making deliveries into the area or traveling through, and would not affect trade with the three states ‘in any way.'”
