(AP) President Trump is banning most Europeans from entering the United States for 30 days to try to slow down the spread of the coronavirus. The ban announced Wednesday night will begin at midnight Friday.
Americans returning from Europe will be subject to enhanced health screening.
The new travel ban is likely to further roil the airline industry as bookings decline and people cancel reservations out of fear they might contract the virus.
Trump said he made the decision to impose the ban after talking with top government health professionals. The restriction is one of many imposed around the world as the virus has spread.
