Trump said he is considering a Quarantine on New York and New Jersey
President Donald Trump said on Saturday he is considering a two-week quarantine on New York and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut in a bid to halt the spread of the coronavirus from the country's epicenter, but he added that such a move would not affect trade in any way.
Speaking to reporters at the Whitewww.ebcnews.online House, Trump said travel to Florida by residents of New York, which has recorded more than 52,000 cases of the disease, is causing problems for Florida.
"We might not have to do it, but there's a possibility that sometime today we'll do a quarantine short-term, two weeks on New York, probably New Jersey, certain parts of Connecticut," Trump said, adding he had spoken to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis earlier in the day.
