White House widens European travel ban to include U.K., Ireland in response to coronavirus pandemic
Vice President Mike Pence announced Saturday that the U.S. would be expanding its preventive travel ban to the United Kingdom and Ireland effective at “midnight Monday night.”
Pence, who is heading up the administration’s effort to combat the virus, said Saturday that those who had visited areas heavily affected by the virus are “encouraged” to self-quarantine for 14 days upon their return. According to the White House, the U.S. has seen 2,226 reported COVID-19 cases across the country, with 50 deaths.
“If you’re sick, stay home. You’re not going to miss a paycheck because of the legislation moving through the Congress,” Pence said.
