Donald Trump said he was considering travel restrictions on Italy and South Korea over coronavirus fears, as he sought to reassure Americans worried about the epidemic.

But a short while after an upbeat press conference by the US president, health authorities said they had detected the first case of unknown origin in the country, signaling that the virus may be spreading within communities.

As of Wednesday, there were 60 cases in the United States — 15 detected through the public health system and 45 repatriated from abroad, either from a cruise ship off Japan or from Wuhan, the Chinese city where the first cases were identified. “At the right time we may do it, right now it’s not the right time,” he said in response to a reporter’s question about South Korea and Italy.

On Wednesday night the State Department raised its travel advisory caution level for South Korea to the second-highest, now urging Americans to reconsider traveling there. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the figure was “too little and too late,” proposing $8.5 billion instead. Trump later told reporters he would be happy to accept more money.
