White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the new restrictions would help ensure foreign nationals do not bring additional infections to the United States, but would not apply to the flow of commerce between the two countries.
“We hope that’ll be temporary, but because of the situation in Brazil, we’re going to take every step necessary to protect the American people,” O’Brien said.Brazil on Friday surpassed Russia to become the world No. 2 hot spot for coronavirus cases, second only to the United States, and now has over 347,000 people infected by the virus, the Health Ministry said.“I don’t want people coming over here and infecting our people. I don’t want people over there sick either.

The US should ban workers WITHOUT MASKS to enter the JFK airport. I saw two groups of male workers, probably luggage loaders, and a middle-age male with the JetBlue logo on their shirts. Also, two security workers. In total, it was around 30-40 people. I was like WTF!!
BUT THOSE TRAVELERS IN THE LAST MONTH R THE PROBLEM & THEY R ALREADY HERE, SO AGAIN POURING WATER ON THE BARN AFTER IT ALREADY BURNED TO THE GROUND & ALL THE LIVESTOCK IS DEAD!
The ban should be both ways. Americans should not be allowed to go down to Brazil just to turn around 7-10 days later. I predict you will see many nations state that Americans will either not be allowed or must quarantine for 14 days after arrival.
😂😂😂😂😂thought birds of the same feathers flock together
Hahahaha says America with the highest Covid deaths in the world 🤦🏽♀️
Are we still letting people in?
Right decision. Brazil is falling into complete chaos, unfortunately. I’m afraid we will be banned all around the world soon....:(
The pot calling the kettle black...
After we allow 40k ex-pats or others to flow into the US on exemptions. Like Stormy said, too little too late.
Good
Oh, sure, that'll help. Let them come, just don't allow them to attend church services or pool parties. (Yes, sarcasm) It's kind of late for window dressing the virus response.
Can't blame the US for this decision. Brazil have a demon in charge.
The liberals will block it..call him a racists...let them come in...it will cause many deaths...then blame Trump....what does this sound like
😄tump friendly state can not travel,,,
Hopefully this would make Bolsonaro sit up and take the virus seriously
Who can wish to visit USA 🇺🇸 now
