American Government Says European Travel Ban Will Extend To U.K. And Ireland.
Mike Pence
Vice President Mike Pence disclosed Saturday that all travel to Ireland and the United Kingdom will be suspended, effective midnight EST on Monday. He announced that Americans and legal residents abroad in those countries can return home.
The United States government initially left the two off its restricted travel list, but the United Kingdom's inclusiveness is necessary due to drastic wide spread of the deadly virus. Meanwhile, the travel restrictions does not apply to cargo or economic shipping, officials with the coronavirus task force said.
President Trump announced earlier this week that European travel to the U.S. will be restricted for 30 days, with exemptions for Americans who undergo screening upon their return.
