Wouldn't that make UK the next hotspot? People will travel to and from UK to get to USA. Unless UK restricts travel from the rest of Europe.

- danso 7y agoNot that this ban makes a lot of sense, but not including the UK makes even less sense, considering they've already reported 400 cases (compared to the ~1,200 in the U.S.) edit: to be fair, maybe the administration would've preferred to just ban travel from Italy. But I'm guessing it's not possible to restrict travel from just one member of the EU.
- Scoundreller 7y agoAnd the UK is already the most popular destination in Europe for Americans. ~50% greater than #2 France. I've no idea why other than language. https://www.statista.com/chart/18742/most-popular-destinations-with-us-travelers/ https://www.statista.com/chart/18742/most-popular-destinatio...

- johannes1234321 7y agoAlso doesn't make considering that Heathrow is a major hub for Europeans to travel to Europe. Only reasoning I can see is political - UK did Brexit. For limiting the spreading this seems like a weird exception.
- viraptor 7y agoUK is already a hotspot. 100 confirmed cases in London (as of 11 Mar) means we should expect 10x that in practice. They just started later than some other countries.
- azernik 7y agoThe ban is for people who have been in the Schengen zone within the last 14 days, not just for direct arrivals from those states.
