As travel restrictions go into effect for a large part of Europe, President Trump's move to fight coronavirus has left panicked and confused Americans rushing to return home
Doug and Rina Taus, who have two daughters in a study-abroad program in Barcelona, bought new tickets to make sure their children could get home Thursday.
"If the message was clearer, we probably would've left them on their Sunday flights to come back," Doug Taus told CNN at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport on Thursday night."But at this point, we couldn't risk having our kids not be able to get in the country for 30 days."Pam Shiplay also has a child in the study-abroad program.
"When we found out the clarity, we could have canceled today's flight because they allow you 24 hours to cancel it," Taus said."By that point we were all done, get them home, we were done." Ida Demartelly arrived from Paris and said she was screened as usual. She said she has concerns about future travel between the US and France.
"We're facing something kind of unprecedented," Demartelly said."So, yeah, I think none of us really know."
