Trump extends European travel ban to include UK and Ireland

The Trump administration has announced it would extend its current travel ban to include the UK and Ireland beginning next week Monday



The White House had previously declared a travel ban to Europe alone, but due to the rapid spread of Coronavirus, the U.K. and Ireland have been included.



Speaking at the White House press briefing on Saturday morning, Vice President Mike Pence confirmed that all travel from the United Kingdom and Ireland has been suspended, effective midnight on Monday.



The same exclusions that are a part of the already existing European travel restrictions will also apply to the UK and Ireland, Pence said.



"We continue to implement the President's vision, as you know, it's been a brisk few days," Pence said, noting how the U.S. implemented a state of emergency on Friday.



Globally, the coronavirus has infected more than 132,000 people, with over 1,300 of them in the U.S., where officials say at least 38 people have died from the virus.

President Trump tests negative for coronavirus, White House says

President Donald Trump has tested negative for coronavirus, the White House has announced.



The news comes just hours after Trump revealed during a Saturday press briefing at the White House that he took the test on Friday amid concerns about his exposure to several people who have been infected for the virus.



"Last night after an in-depth discussion with the President regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed," according to the statement about the results released by press secretary Stephanie Grisham with Trump's permission. "One week after having dinner with the Brazilian delegation in Mar-a-Lago, the President remains symptom-free. I have been in daily contact with the CDC and White House Coronavirus Task Force, and we are encouraging the implementation of all their best practices for exposure reduction and transmission mitigation."



Trump's decision to take the test comes after he said he was concerned about his close contact with the press secretary for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and Brazil's chargé d'affaires in Washington who both tested positive for coronavirus days after they met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.



The US has more than 2,826 confirmed cases, with 58 deaths from coronavirus.



President Trump has since declared a national state of emergency to release $50bn (£40bn) to fight the spread of the virus, while the UK and Ireland have also been added to the already existing European travel restrictions.
