Amid the increase in cases, the U.S. banned travel to Iran, extending the existing travel ban to any foreign nationals who had been in that country over the past 14 days. The State Department also increased travel warnings and is recommending Americans not travel to parts of Italy and South Korea. Vice President Mike Pence announced the new measures alongside Trump, who said his administration was considering additional travel restrictions, including possibly closing the U.S. border with Mexico.
Trump said there are 22 people in the United States infected by the new coronavirus, including at least four who don’t have any history of travel or known contacts with anyone who has traveled that would tie them to the virus. These four cases include, a woman in Oregon, a high school student in Washington state, an older woman in Santa Clara County, California, and another woman in Solano County.. More than 79,000 of the total were in mainland China.
. Tehran has reported over the past week that seven of its government officials, including one of its vice presidents, tested positive for the virus.Support our independent journalism Readers like you make our work possible.

A man dies in Washington state so a Trump thinks it is time to close the border to Mexico! Does he realize that Washington borders on Canada?
Most stupid thing in 200 years.
That will literally do nothing to impede the coronavirus
Keep him out next please
It's brutal and racist. Silver lining: It just might prevent a Coronavirus crisis in Mexico.
Maybe he should close the border with Washington, DC- nobody in, nobody out
We need to close all international airports first.
What about Canada? This is only realDonaldTrump attacking refugees and supporting his wall.
How many times have we heard this threat before? Is it even worth reporting this garbage?
This shows just how stupid Trump can be.
Can we close off the border wall at the White House?
Good lord! Does he know how much money goes in and out of the border? He’s going to hurt the economy even more 🤦♀️
There are a lot more cases in Canada. Should we close our northern border first?
Good
Why?
That’s a good thing.
