President Donald Trump announced last night that effective Friday, March 13, at midnight, the US government would begin restricting travel for foreign nationals coming to the US from more than two dozen European countries in the Schengen area for thirty days, in an attempt to contain the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). The thirty-day travel restriction will only apply to foreign nationals who were physically present within the Schengen area during a fourteen-day period preceding entry to the US. The travel restrictions do not apply to American citizens or lawful permanent residents or their spouses or children.
