President Trump confirms on Twitter that Canada and the US will close their shared border to 'non-essential' traffic. Follow live updates:

From CNN's Kristina Sgueglia

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on NBC's Today Show, “I think an honest conversation about shelter-in-place has to happen,” noting the decision “can only be made with the State of New York,” adding he will be speaking with the New York governor later today. When asked if he will recommend to the governor that the city do a shelter-in-place while the city faces a growing coronavirus pandemic, de Blasio said he is “almost” to that point – saying “we have a little more to make sense of” first, including how to get people food and medicine, “but it has to be considered seriously starting today.

Yesterday after earlier comments from the mayor on the potentiality of a decision on a possible shelter-in-place, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office said"any blanket quarantine or shelter in place policy would require state action and as the governor has said, there is no consideration of that for any locality at this time."

As president you will determine if you serve another term. We need hope and compasion for the dead and dying. Do your job and give all Americans what they need. Give us facts and show us you care. You have the ability to save lives. Use your power for what's it's intended for.

How many Americans need to die before you realize what is right from wrong? Stop with the negativity and name calling. Stop with the blaming.

People will die here in Michigan & around the country due to Trumps placing priority with his son in law's job, Which he should not be in.

😊❤️✌️

Why do these press briefings sound more like a campaign speech or testimonial dinner rather than a leader leading?

Wait....but..... isn't that racist

Mexico next please!

45 is turning America into a prison and throwing away the key do you want this I don't if you don't say nothing it's going to continue American citizen we have to talk to the Senate and Congress and have them stop him

Why Really?

Thank you president Kushner!!best ever!

It's the only solution.

Very smart. He won't say Canada shuts borders with the USA!

Trump's next action would be Rob the Allies to make America great again!!!disgrace!!!

Damn good action to be taking‼️

The USA has a very serious problem on their hands. They have a massive increase in new infections. Today their new cases of COVID 19 represent 14% of all new infections on this planet in a country that represents only 4 % percent of the population on this planet.

So 0.0014 percent of the population has a new flu strand, yet greater than 5 percent of illegal immigrants were arrested for drug smuggling in 2019 and were racists. Flawed logic. I would shred apart these writers over at CNN of I ever felt motivated enough to confront them.

Those being tested are suddenly sick this week or have been sick for weeks/months and now we know why? When will experts start explaining how long the virus has actually been in the US? What's the overarching goal... what of cases in the US will make it ok to re-open schools?

Nice fake tan and Yak hair Donnie

Heavy rain come corona finnish.

But I thought it was contained?

Trump s good man

Can you send Karen Kelvin Harris St Paul Minnesota I need a check to take you to Walmart family

No , coronavirus is from USA since August 2019, so we call it USA-19 virus. Your government is lying, there was not flu, about 20k Americans died of USA-19 virus so far.your president Trump refuse to test all of Americans , because more than 1 million of Americans infected maybe

go look at the 5 dollar bill and one dollar bill and the George Washington painting in the d.c. building and the false d.c. tower the look at the Egyptian ones then compare the Bible . You've been in Hollywood although life isn't a movie and natural disasters are very real .

Close the southern border

I appreciate

Bunch of bs!

TrueBennett No. Canada did

What about the southern border? Damn Mexicans have the swine flu!

“Good” , keg “security, all is well”...

“ we need to know, whom”... needtoknowinamerica

Border security is a good thing after all.

That’s fine with me. I never liked driving into Canada anyway.

What about the Southern border?

Where will Americans get their insulin...

Alaska gets all it's products brought up through Canada. Guess we may run short until it reopens!

realDonaldTrump Hey Donald J Hoover, you’re so good at borders. Got Mexico’s check yet?

Why do we not have a virus testing in California Sutter county even if someone had it we would know cuz they're not testing for it

hahahaha 'Canada closed it first a week ago, and I proposed to a doll's head to close it, now trump says that it closed ,. LOL

Congress needs to cut non-essential spending!!!! NOW!!

for how long?

Isn't that ironic

Of course this was Trudeau’s idea. But Trump is trying to take credit.

Trump always acts like he was a part of all decisions, he WAS NOT. Canada decided to close boarders- trump not consulted! 😂

I am cool with this. It is temporary. Enjoy all the blessings you actually have instead of complaining about something that has zero effect on the majority of us.

Good! I heard Trudeau is letting ANYONE from ANYWHERE into Canada... What a fool!

morgfair OK, but America remains stuck with its non-essential president, very non-essential, believe me.

KLimburg

Thank god, cause our pm was still letting your citizens through, thank you from the Canadian citizens

Just right now!?! Should’ve been last week !!

Good. Little too late honestly

Why is taken so long to shutdown the south border ? This is the one that it needed to be shutdown last week !.. Come pussy Donald Trump!

Now do Mexico

Jokes on y’all Canada won’t let you I. For ten years after you get a dui here so some of us have been prepared for this for a while

Just remember, the number of deaths from this....whatever the 'official' tainted number is. The majority will be caused by being told it's a hoax. Some still believe it and have it and are passing it around, until it gets to the right person, and they die. One person is to blame
