On Saturday, President Trump issued a press briefing informing the public that he has taken a COVID-19 test due to having close contact with people who have been tested positive for it, according to USA Today. The test came back negative. Additionally, Trump has extended his travel ban for Europe to the U.K. and Ireland, which he had previously excluded.
This means that beginning Monday, residents of all of Europe will not be able to travel to America for 30 days. That does not include American citizens, who may still return from Europe.
All Florida public schools are now closed until March 30. Some companies are offering free Wi-Fi for people stuck at home due to the coronavirus.
