Reggie and kumasi. That really tells a story. Thanks so much. Now to the coronavirus emergency and the toll it is taking on the nation. This morning travelers are preparing for the travel ban from europe to the u. S. It goes into effect at midnight and the president could be considering even more travel restrictions. Abc 7 News Reporter Julian Glover is live at sfo with more details on this. Julian. Good morning, guys. A lot of confusion this morning thanks in part to the mixed messaging come from the white house. The latest fear is that there could be a freeze on travel between states within the u. S. In speaking with reporters yesterday, President Trump said, yes, it is an option on the table restricting travel within the u. S. If one particular state gets a coronavirus outbreak that is unmanageable and out of control. One of the two states that have the highest number of cases right now here in california and our nbaers to teighbors to the washington. The International Travel ban that is going into effect tonight. 26 European Countries will not be allowed in the u. S. Starting at midnight. The Trump Administration insisting all americans and green card holders coming back to the u. S. Will have to be tested for coronavirus before they can be allowed back in the country. Many will have to travel through one of 13 airports equipped to handle said testing and while it hasnt been confirmed, we do expect sfo would be one of them. Americans who test positive will not be allowed in the country and the availability of those test kits. Again, that a european travel ban of those 26 countries goes into effect at midnight tonight. Now, on the potential of a u. S. Travel ban on people thinking that that might be a drastic measure right now, were hearing stories like the one from new york where a man who potentially came in contact with someone who was positive with coronavirus and had been tested but was awaiting the results, got on a plane from jfk and headed to palm beach with 114 other passengers. Now, many of them are worried about their own policy exposure to coronavirus this morning. A quickly developing situation. Well update you as we learn more. Reporting live at sfo this morning, Julian Glover, abc 7 news. Thank you, julian. Just live into the news desk an abc news poll most people are concerned about the coronavirus. Here are the numbers for everyone. About a quarter of people say theyre concerned about the virus. 40 say that they are somewhat concerned. Only about 30 say they are not so concerned or not concerned at all. More than half of people surveyed say they disapprove of how President Trump is handling the situation. About 40 saying they do approve. So, ill send it back to you, kumasi. Hospitals in Santa Clara County will start screening staff and visitors today for covid19 before they enter the building.

We met one mom that will keep her Children Home and also thinking about feeding her family. We caught up with her as she got into the Grocery Store to stock up. I came in to buy dinner and i see mass hysteria and i think, i should join in because theres is hardly any food. Parents are dealing with a lot right now. Well, Officials Say its fine to keep kids home today in San Francisco. They just have the schools open today if people need it. Questions about the kids who depend on receiving lunch at school. The San Francisco chronicle is reporting that the district says that meal will still be available to kids who qualify, but no details yet on how that food is going to be served. Theyre still working out the plan. The logistics on that. Now, this closure came as a bit of a surprise because earlier this week officials had said that they were planning to keep schools open in San Francisco because they know how much families depend on schools. But as concerns of the virus spread, they changed their minds yesterday afternoon deciding to go ahead and shut down San Franciscos schools. The shut down is really going to be a threeweek long closure because it is going to include spring break. So right now the plan is to welcome kids back on april the 6th.

Yesterday the stock market had its biggest drop since the black friday crash. Thats a black monday crash, excuse me, of 1987. In addition to coronavirus, President Trumps announcement of the european travel ban has only added to the anxiety of investors, not to mention the travel ban does start tonight.
