Pence said at a White House news conference Saturday that a “ broad range of measures ” are under consideration.
“But no decisions have been made yet, ” he said.
Asked if people should be traveling, Trump recommended against it.
“If you don’t have to travel I wouldn’t d o it, ‘he said. “ We want this thing to end. We don’t want a lot of people getting infected. ” (New United Kingdom and Ireland restrictions)
The United Kingdom and Ireland were excluded from the Europe travel ban announced earlier this week but have been added due to a spike in cases there.
The broadened ban means residents of the UK and Ireland will not be allowed to travel to the United States for days beginning late Monday.
US residents won ‘t be banned from flying to the United States but they will face airport screenings upon their return and will be asked to self quarantine for days.
“They will be allowed into the US, ” Chad Wolf, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security said.
In response to the broadened ban and the resulting falloff in travel demand, airlines are likely to sharply cut flights between the US and London and Ireland. Delta and American Airlines, for example, suspended all flights between the United States and the European countries covered by the initial ban.
