Trump imposes a 30-day travel ban to and from Europe

US President Donald Trump declared a new travel ban to and from Europe on late Wednesday night at the Oval Office's public address.  

President Trump in his speech explained the essence of the pandemic and assured the Americans that they will get through it soon. The President repeated recent measures to counter COVID-19, including a ban on travel to China and other hotspots, and subsequently criticized the European Union for failing to take similar steps. 

The ban will take effect from  Friday (13/03/2020) at midnight and will continue for 30 days thereafter. and would have an effect on air transport but not on trade and freight. Exemptions would be made for Americans who have been adequately tested. The State Department also explained that the ban would not extend to American citizens, permanent residents or other family members. The United Kingdom has been given a travel ban exception.

The President was open to the idea of reassessing current travel bans as conditions started to change in countries such as China and South Korea. The President also addressed the possible economic steps being taken to tackle the effects of the pandemic.

The virus, which originated in China late last year, has now infected more than 1,27,000 people worldwide, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In Europe, countries like Italy, France and Spain have been seriously affected and all of these countries have more than 2,000 cases. Italy, which has the largest number of coronavirus infections outside  China, has 12,462 reported cases of the virus, according to recent data from Johns Hopkins University and the Italian Civil Protection Agency.
