White House officials have repeatedly said restrictions on travel within the United States are under consideration. When will they come?
Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday credited China travel restrictions as a big factor in helping avoid a Europe-like spread of coronavirus in the United States.
The only hint that changes might be ahead: Officials said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday will release new coronavirus guidelines. They did not say what the guidelines would cover or whether they will including travel. The CDC already issued an unusual advisory covering U.S. travel. On Wednesday , the agency posted guidelines on its website with the headline: "Should I travel within the United States?''
The most recent hit to travel demand: restaurants, bars and retailers and attractions, major draws for visitors in addition to locals, are temporarily closing. There's no need for spring break in New York City if Broadway is dark or that girls' weekend in Nashville, Tennessee, if bars, restaurants and other attractions are closed.
Delta Air Lines on Friday said it is parking 300 planes and slashing 40% of its capacity. Delta and American this week have suspended all spring flights to Europe, cuts that come of top of widespread Asia and Italy flight reductions.
