JUST IN: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that 100% of non-essential workers should stay home. Only essential businesses will be functioning. Cuomo is calling it 'New York state on pause.'
By CNN's Priscilla Alvarez, Betsy Klein and Jennifer HanslerThe Trump administration is expected to announce details Friday on plans to halt non-essential travel on the US-Mexico border in an effort to limit travel amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf.
“We’re working with both our Canadian partners as well as our Mexican partners, limiting nonessential travel across that border,” Wolf told reporters Friday. “We want to make sure cargo continues, trade continues, healthcare workers continue to be able to traverse that border. But tourism, some recreational activities need to stop during this crisis.”
Wolf told reporters that more details on a southern border non-essential closure will be announced later Friday. The expected action on the southern border appears similar to the one taken on the US border with Canada and marks the latest move by the administration to seal off the United States as coronavirus continues to spread.Over recent weeks, Trump has joined countries across the globe in introducing a slate of travel restrictions, which extend from China to Europe's Schengen Area to the United Kingdom and Ireland, over coronavirus concerns.
