Donald Trump tested negative for the coronavirus, his doctor said, as the US president extended a travel ban to Britain and Ireland to try to slow the spread of a pandemic that has shut down much of the daily routine of American life.
Trump said Americans should reconsider non-essential travel, and that his administration was also considering domestic travel restrictions. Critics have accused Trump of focusing too much on markets, which on Friday saw the three major Wall Street indexes gain more than nine percent after having had their worst day since 1987 on Thursday.
Pence said the administration was extending to Britain and Ireland travel restrictions that were first imposed on China and expanded this week to continental Europe.US airlines, which have already been battered by the restrictions and a steep drop in demand, said on Saturday that they were preparing more flight cuts. Pence said the new restrictions will take effect at midnight on Monday.
“The travel investigation couldn’t be effectively managed on our side,” the senior DHS official said. On Saturday, officials in New York confirmed that state’s first two fatalities from the outbreak: an 82-year-old woman in New York City’s borough of Brooklyn, and a man in his 60s in Rockland County, north of the city. Both had underlying health problems, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said.The pandemic has forced public schools, sports events and cultural and entertainment venues to close across the United States.
