President Trump's speech yesterday announcing a ban on travel from European countries set off chaos at airports and left many people scrambling to learn details. One public health law expert at Georgetown says the travel ban is 'incoherent.'
Vice President Pence, who is leading the Trump administration's COVID-19 effort, defended Trump's handling of the prime-time address, saying,"I don't think there was confusion" created by the president's remarks.Thursday morning, Pence also mentioned that Americans flying home from Europe"will be funneled through 13 different airports" where they will be screened and then asked to self-quarantine. Pence did not name those airports.
"Travel from highly functioning health systems like Switzerland [are] banned, but not weak systems like Russia or Africa,"Trump's new policy follows weeks of criticisms about his administration's approach to the coronavirus — particularly its inability to get plentiful supplies of reliable testing kits into the hands of health professionals around the country.
Roughly 105 countries currently have some type of travel restriction in place because of the coronavirus, according to the, which tracks such policies. Most of those limits are aimed at reducing ties to hot spots in China and Italy. And while some countries block passengers from France, Germany and Spain — all of which now have more than 2,000 coronavirus patients — the U.S. seems to be the first to prohibit visitors from virtually all of Europe.
For now, the airline is one of many that are telling would-be passengers to be sure their contact information is up to date, so they can receive news of any changes.To prevent the coronavirus from spreading, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using a hand sanitizer if a sink isn't available. The World Health Organization says people should wear face masks only if they're sick or caring for someone who is.
