The ban includes all cargo coming from the continent, but does not apply to the United Kingdom
Photo: Doug Mills/Getty Images In his address to the nation on Wednesday, President Trump announced that in an effort to stop new coronavirus cases from entering the United States all travel from Europe to the United States would be suspended for 30 days, beginning Friday at midnight.
Critics stated that the efficacy of a travel ban is extremely limited, now that multiple cases of community outbreak have been reported. Prior to Trump’s speech on Wednesday, the World Health Organization designated the coronavirus outbreak to be a pandemic. The president also announced he would be awarding the Small Business Association with $50 billion to “provide capital and liquidity to provide loans to small businesses,” but did not address the country’s failure to properly test for coronavirus. “No nation is more prepared or resilient than the United States,” Trump said.
