Trump suspends travel from Europe for 30 days in response to coronavirus outbreak
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Wednesday said the United States would suspend travel from Europe for 30 days, a dramatic escalation of the federal government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The measures come the same day that the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global pandemic. Already, U.S. health officials have recorded over 1,000 cases of the novel coronavirus and the respiratory disease it causes, known as Covid-19. Worldwide cases exceed 125,000, nearly 5,000 of which have been fatal.
