Coronavirus quarantine travellers from china says senate

You're referring to the recent news about the Senate's call to quarantine travelers from China due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Here's a summary of the situation:

On February 2, 2020, the United States Senate unanimously passed a resolution urging the Trump administration to take immediate action to protect the country from the spread of the coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China. The resolution specifically called for the quarantine of travelers from China, as well as increased screening and monitoring of international travelers.

The resolution was introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and co-sponsored by several other senators, including Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).

The Senate's move comes as the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus continues to rise globally, with over 28,000 reported cases and over 560 deaths worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak a global health emergency.

The quarantine measure is aimed at preventing the spread of the virus, which is caused by a new strain of coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2. The virus is highly contagious and can cause severe respiratory illness, including pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

While the Senate's resolution is non-binding, it puts pressure on the Trump administration to take action to protect the country from the spread of the virus. The administration has already taken several measures, including restricting travel from China and increasing screening of international travelers.

It's worth noting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the WHO have not recommended a blanket quarantine of travelers from China, citing the effectiveness of existing screening and monitoring measures. However, the CDC has advised travelers to take precautions, such as wearing masks and avoiding close contact with others, to reduce the risk of transmission.

The situation is evolving rapidly, and we'll continue to monitor updates from the CDC, WHO, and other health authorities to provide accurate and reliable information.
