Describing the disease as a "foreign virus", Mr Trump announced a halt on all travel from the 26 countries in the Schengen open borders area of the EU, starting from 20 March. “The virus will not have a chance against us.” A White House release made clear that American citizens would still be able to return home once the European travel ban sets in, albeit to a "limited" number of airports with screening facilities. The European ban would also include exemptions for items being traded between the US and EU countries – but some final decisions have yet to be made, Mr Trump said. In a final sign the president is taking the virus more seriously, the White House issued a statement saying Mr Trump has cancelled a planned trip later this week to Colorado and Nevada – two states he wants to win to secure a second term – "out of an abundance of caution."
