Coronavirus: US bans all travel from Europe ‘Schengen’ countries to US for 30 days
Donald Trump has suspended all flights from mainland Europe to the US for 30 days following the spread of coronavirus cases across the continent.
The US president said the sanctions will come into effect from midnight on Friday, Eastern Standard Time – but will not apply to flights from the UK.
He blamed the European Union for not acting quickly enough to address the outbreak of the virus and said US clusters were “seeded” by European travellers.
