The United States is advising residents of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut not to travel domestically after the number of reported
coronavirus deaths doubled to over 2,000 nationwide within two days.
It took about a month from the first report of a coronavirus
death on February 29 to the number reaching 1,000 on Thursday. By Saturday, the
number of reported deaths had doubled to 2,000.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the
travel advisory Saturday, urging residents of the three states to “refrain from
nonessential domestic travel for 14 days effective immediately.”
The states would have “full discretion” on implementing the
advisory, which exempts employees in critical fields.
With more than 121,000 cases and 2,046 deaths nationwide,
the three states make up more than half of the cases and nearly half of the
deaths.
