How is the virus affecting travel?

The disease is significantly impacting international travel.
Travellers from China, Iran, Italy, and South Korea are being asked to stay home for a period of 14 days from the time they left those countries, which are each experiencing widespread, ongoing transmission.
Since February 2, 2020, the U.S. government has prevented foreign nationals who have been in China within the past 14 days from entering the U.S.
The government has also been monitoring the health of U.S. citizens, residents, and their immediate family members who have been in Hubei province and other parts of mainland China within the past 14 days, and quarantining those showing symptoms of illness.
On February 29, 2020, the U.S. government also suspended entry of foreign nationals who have been to Iran within the past 14 days. This move was in response to the novel coronavirus’ rapid spread in that country.

What about U.S. citizens travelling abroad?

The CDC recommends travelers - particularly those with underlying health issues - defer all cruise ship travel worldwide.
The government also recommends that older adults and travelers with underlying health issues avoid long plane trips.
For up-to-date information on CDC guidance, check the agency’s website.

Won’t listen to slogans, chanted mantras or generally any kind of marketing spin or “rebranding” crap. I firmly believe that everyone else is entitled to their erroneous opinions. Citizen vigilance and due diligence is price we must pay to live in a thriving, functional democracy.\nI fear that our citizens are too easily swayed by politician’s pablum about “babies”, “jobs” and now, in particular, perceived “enemies”. I fear that a citizenry focused on the “here-and-now” is easily tricked by short term benefits that have negative long-term consequences. I fear that our legislators are more concerned about buffing their constituents than looking out for the long-term welfare of our country- and are way too eager to provide those short-term benefits to the “here-and-now” crowd.\nI fear that honor is generally being sacrificed/replaced by expediency. I hear politicians eloquently argue for one side of an issue and later, when it’s to their benefit, just as eloquently argue for the opposite side. OK, so they are good at arguing- but what is that they actually believe? What is it that they actually stand for? An honorable person has values that persist even when it is not convenient or expedient. An honorable person has a moral compass that stops them from doing something wrong even if it is not illegal. A foul is a foul- even if the referee doesn’t catch you.\nI fear that each of our federal governmental branches have devised or discovered shortcuts which tend to protect them from the checks and balances our founders intended.","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":"jimk","issue_count":4,"is_following":null,"influence_score":44880,"influence_level":40,"follower_count":1530,"following_count":81,"position_count":539,"id":"9odrQBnb","partner_id":null},{"name":"FracturedGhast7","vote_count":344,"photos":{"large":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/9G8Ob5Oo/large_9g8ob5oo-1558400036.jpg","small":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/9G8Ob5Oo/small_9g8ob5oo-1558400036.jpg","tiny":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/9G8Ob5Oo/tiny_9g8ob5oo-1558400036.jpg"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/9G8Ob5Oo/following","followers":"/api/users/9G8Ob5Oo/followers"},"about_me":"Hello, I am a very politically active person and enjoy playing Minecraft in my free time.
