Trump imposes travel restrictions, mandatory quarantines over coronavirus outbreak
"The Trump administration on Friday declared the coronavirus a public health emergency in the United States, and announced that people who pose a risk of transmitting the disease will temporarily be suspended from entering the U.S.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that President Donald Trump signed an order for the U.S. to deny entry to foreign nationals who have traveled to China within the past two weeks, aside from the immediate family of U.S. citizens.
Azar, speaking to reporters at the White House, also said that any U.S. citizens who have been in China’s Hubei province — home of Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus — within the last 14 “will be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine to ensure they’re provided proper medical care and health screening.”
The risk to the American public is “low” at this time, said Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The risk to the American public is “low” at this time, said Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Azar called the measures “fairly incremental” and “appropriate, preventative steps.” Yet, officials said they wanted to ensure it would remain a low risk to Americans.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, another member if the White House task force on the coronavirus, said incoming flights from China will be limited to just seven airports beginning Sunday."
