Weve been following the troubled chaos overnight in some of americas largest airports as the impacts of the wide travel bans literally hits home. This was the scene in chicagos airport. Thousands of passengers coming in from international flights. No hopes of any social distances. Hand sanitizer, nowhere in sight. They spent hours in line. No one, not even staff sure what was going on. A short time ago my colleague Michael Holmes spoke with a woman caught up in it all. We got off our plane and were directed down a hall and the international terminal. We got on an escalator, and it was absolutely there were people piled up at the bottom. That line went all as far as the eye could see all around the corner, all through the customs area. We went through two different customs and immigration check points before a cdc screening. This is clearly more than one plane, so this was a bunch of planes coming in from europe to beat the ban. Yes. Mostly europe. And i guess also a couple other countries that are on the list. Absolutely extraordinary. And clearly i mean what was the main holdup from your perspective . Well, we had a customs official make an announcement, kind of work his way down the line, you know, announcing what would happen, that we were going to go through multiple screenings and checked by the cdc. And then he said that this was at the request of the president and he acknowledged that everyone that the situation was terrible and there was nothing else they could do. And it could get even worse after monday. Thats when the u. S. Restrictions kick in for citizens in the uk and ireland. At the white house, President Trump has tested negative for the virus. Through are now more than 2,800 cases in the country, but experts warn this is only the beginning. When this is all over and it will end, you will see a curve of how the coronavirus outbreak evolved. We have not reached our peak. And some news coming in to us a short time ago. The vatican is canceling easter masses and holy Day Celebrations due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus. Europe is the new epicenter of the disease and italy has been the hard evidence hit in that region. Europe is bracing for travel chaos. On saturday the Trump Administration extended its european travel restrictions in an effort to curb the spread of the virus. Cnns selma abdo leeza has the details. The ban now expanded to include the uk and ireland. They cannot have their foreign nationals traveling to the United States. The exception is american citizens and green cardholders who can travel back home as long as they undergo enhanced screening in one of a dozen airports landing in the states. Speaking to american citizens trying to make their way back home, they say they are confused. They dont know how to find new guidance and feel like everything is changing by the hour. Theyre working hard to provide more information. For british citizens, we have seen a rise in the death toll. There is over a thousand confirmed cases, but Health Experts warn there could be thousands more, up to 10,000 more cases across the country that slim arent confirmed. Prime minister Boris Johnson has called on people to take care. Critics have argued thats simply not enough, that the government needs to tackle this head on and avoid a further growth, a further spread of this pandemic before it gels worse. Salma abdelaziz, london. The Prime Minister says it includes all places that dont provide a place of function. Were joined now from paris. Katherine, obviously theres been a severe uptick in the number of cases in france, which is why the government is taking such drastic measures such as closing businesses, restaurants, movie theaters. Are the french obeying . Well, so far, anna, it seems to be the case. Many of these shops will have to be closed following that announcement from the french freddie mac ed award philippe. He appearing on National Television saying four hours after that, all shops not selling food items would have to be closed. Cafes, bars, restaurants, theaters as well. People had been continuing to enjoy the social scene. Its having such an impact that that lifestyle will have to change. But what is taking place this sunday, anna, the first round of voting. It is going ahead as planned. People are already in the polling stations. Some of this which opened at 8 00 a. M. , there had been a criticism of the government not going ahead and postponing this vote. They say they dont understand this. One of the local political leaders saying there was total incomprehension across france, the decision not to delay. Weve haddock tors groups writing open letters saying it was dangerous to still hold this vote. There had been special measures put in place. Voters are being asked to stand three feet apart, theyve been disinfecting door handles, voter booths. Voters have been asked to bring their own pens to risk contamination that way, but there are lots of questions if this is dangerous or what impact it could have politically on the outcome of these elections. I becht. Catherine norristrent, great to have you on the ground. Thanks for the update. Theres been a lockdown. Strict measures now in place have emptied the once busy streets of madrid. Journalist al has our report. With the restrictions the capital is like a ghost town. This gourmet food market which would normally be packed is closed like all the other bars and restaurants in town, but it does make it easy to get one of these tuctucs. Madrid is the hardest hit with more than half of spains cases and fatalities. Prime minister Pedro Sanchez wants to slow down the pace of new infections that Officials Say could overwhelm hospitals. Under the state of emergency starting late saturday, the government banned people from leaving their homes except for a few essential activities. They can still go to food stores and pharmacies, but theyd have to go alone. People can go to work, but driving must be only for essential activities, not for leisure. This man out shopping for food is a medical doctor and cancer specialist. I am reasonably concerned, he says, but also reasonably optimistic this situation could be controlled more quickly than whats being predicted. This butcher says clients are buying more meat than usual. He says they may have to close. The government says it could get worse. This couple arrived for a weekend Birthday Celebration and now theyre out searched for food. The virus is spreading. All cities are going to be getting worse. Sooner on lockdown. I think it will be the same very quickly. Reporter the spanish Prime Minister says not so fast. He says it will take weeks but they will stop the virus. The white house anyhow snow says it will screen anyone with signs of fever. As the president waited for results from his coronavirus test, we get more now from cnns kristen holmes. Reporter well, President Trump surprised reporters and americans when he announced at a press conference he decided to take the coronavirus testing. This came after the president said he wasnt too concerned, that he would probably take it, but he didnt have any symptoms. Now we have the results back. Were going to pull up this letter for you. This came if the white house doctor late on saturday night. It says last night after an indepth discussion with the president regarding covid19 testing he elected to proceed. This evening i received confirmation that the test is a negative. Goes on to talk about the week after its been a week since the president had dinner with the delegation at mary a lago. Remember at least one person tested positive for the coronavirus. This has come at a time when we asked the president repeat ily if he was going to get tested. We asked what kind of precautions he was taking to keep himself safe and essentially the president said he wasnt going to challenge anything, he was going to keep having those rallies. Of course, he cannes ld some, but he said he was going to keep shaking hands. We saw him yesterday shaking hands with everyone in the rose garden even though those Health Officials said not to come into contact, not to have handshaking to keep that social distancing, so this is clearly to ramp up the reaction to coronavirus particularly when it comes to President Trump and his safety regarding the virus. In washington, im kristen holmes, cnn. Caregivers are preparing for the worst. One of the worst epicenters of the outbreak. When we return, well show you how one facility plans to keep up as the numbers of new cases continues to climb. Plus, the u. S. Is trying to fix the nationwide shortage of the coronavirus test. Why can celebrities get the test so quickly when average americans cannot. Our report later this hour. Mucinex lasts 12 hours, so im good. Now move kim nooooo mucinex has a patented tablet that lasts 3x longer, for 12 hours. Your international flight, maybe a ticket you got last minute as the u. S. Travel ban took effect and arriving to this. Of course, the irony the spread is what prompted the measure. Now youre packed shoulder to shoulder at chicagos ohare airport. You heard earlier Michael Holmes talking with one of those passengers. Heres more of what she had to say. Everyones kind of surprised. I mean most people got word in the middle of the night or the middle of the night wednesday night thursday morning wherever they were that something was up. But if you called your airport and asked them what you should do and what im a citizen, can i come back, the airlines had no idea what was going on. It was very confusing for everyone. No one knew if they could come home immediately or if they could even get a flight. It was not a clear situation. Incredible. These scenes ee voekd an angry response from illinois governor who tweeted to President Trump and Vice President pence, he said since this is the only communication, you need to do something now. These crowds are waiting to get through customs which is under federal jurisdiction. To drive the point home he added later, the federal government needs to get its bleep together now. The white house is getting criticism over the threat the virus poses. The u. S. Lags far behind in terms of testing. Were seeing how decisions to close schools and Public Events are being made at a local level rather than a coordinated nationwide approach. Even as the travel bans expand, there are concerns what needs to be done within the country to keep it from spreading. Well, we have a Global Analyst and spokesman for the organization security. He raises the issue for the oped for cnn writing while President Trump introduced travel restrictions for china on january 31st, the u. S. Squandered the intervening weeks with confusing and inaccurate messages while continuing to cast the virus as a waforeign threat all while failing to identify and test the growing number of case witness the u. S. You summed it up. The United States has been bhient t behind the eight ball from the getgo. Yes. You know, anna, even the press briefing today showing how uncoordinated and unprepared they are, and even the projected signaling from the white house with the president standing so close to his team while advocating distance. As i pointed out in the oped, a lot of what were seeing here is opposite of what were seeing in singapore and the hong kongs of the world. Secondly, really putting in strict measures like quarantines, like Contract Tracing and also the early, early bans on travel from china. A lot of experts have told me its only a one or twoweek delay between disaster and combatting this coronavirus. Michael, as we know, this has been going on since december, certainly china, and it has spread pretty quickly since then. Obviously china, asia, which was impacted straight away took it very seriously, but in the rest of the world, america in the west, theres been this apathy. Is that ignorance, misinformation, or belief it was just china or asias problem . I think its a mix of all of it. In singapore and hong kong, the memories of the sars outbreak which was very, very difficult on them is still fractious. They already have a couple of things that has helped them, the clean mentality and risk of fines. In terms of western leaders, a lot of uncoordinated actors. I listen to those w. H. O. Briefings every day. They talk about cleaning and get supplies in position before the crisis. They advice between travel and trade restrictions. I think were in big trouble as a global community. Why . If governments are not listening to a coordinating body like the w. H. O. , which is very well positioned to deal with these outbreaks, were going to boo b fighting this for a lot longer than we actually should be. We heard from a top u. S. Health official, he said the situation is going to get a lot worse before it improves. How much worse, do you believe . It sends a chill down my back. I was traveling around a bit on the island in brooklyn. The trains are still packed. What you notice is a lot of people on the bottom of the economic ladder cannot take ubers or afford the long walks, so social distancing is nonexistent, and thats a bit opportunity for the disease to spread. My big worry here is it seems like when you have a president who wants to take victory laps but also points the blame elsewhere so that crucial crucial messaging of what to do is not coming out and now were seeing local governments acting independently proactively. Just, i believe, a few hours ago, the mayor of hoboken declared a curfew. So all of this is going to be uncoordinated and doesnt bode well for the coronavirus response. Well, michael. Just quickly there was a great deal of criticism for places like china, hong kong, singapore for, perhaps, their overreaction. Paranoia. People are being hypervigilant. You cannot walk outside this building without putting onnen a mask. People will yell at you if your mouth is not covered. In hindsight, should the west be taking this more seriously. Should they be following what others are doing . Now is the time for a draconian measure. Being here for a few days, i believe the American Public is ready for sharp and short measures even if that includes curfews, shutting down the economy. I think the mentality is lets get this over with, have shortterm pain, and thats the only way were going to beat this thing. Really because i mean obviously americans, they protect their independence. That is something they hold sacred. So being told, you know, they have to look down. You believe theyll look down. I believe so. Theyre canceling meetings and things like that. My big worry is when were getting this confusion messaging from the white house and a president more concerned with his popularity ratings, it seems the americans are in big trouble here. I wish them the best, of course, and i hope that they will introduce some of the measures, for example, that canadas Prime Minister trudeau has produced thats based on science and fact and not just kneejerk reactions.

International ohare in chicago, there are unimaginably long lines for hours and hours to get cdc screenings meant to ensure arriving passengers do not have symptoms of coronavirus. Well, the new u. S. Travel restrictions on people at the European Union have expanded to include the United Kingdom and ireland beginning on monday. It does not apply to american citizens, but they must sel selfquarantine once back in the United States. There are now more than 220,000 infections worldwide and more than 2,000 deaths. Spain is imposing a nationwide lockdown. People must stay home unless theyre going to work, buy food, caring for a child or elderly person. France is closing all cafe, clubs, and theater. Theyre closing all plays that do not perform an essential function. Theres announced a combined 40 billion dollar plan and were still in the middle of a price war. John defterios joins us from abu dhabi. How are the economies of spain and italy dealing with these new restrictions . Its extraordinary. Its kind of a blabs. Its like the health of society versus health of the economy. If you think it through, we have france, spain, and italy ranked one, two, and five in the world when it comes to tourism, and tourism represents about 10 of gdp. Its going to hit domestic course when you have to think of the fallout when it comes to tourism. Uk is keeping a different strategy. Theres an uncertainty in europe and on wall street, which is making it very difficult for investors. If you take a look at the futures on wall street, were pointing to an open down on monday because of the big rise we saw on friday, trading. We have seen losses of twothirds and people think, 1 gain, what does that mean. Its a similar tale playing out in europe right now with the Central Banks having very little room do anything beyond the interest rates, and this is beyond the pressure. Yeah. John. Tell us about the efforts in the middle east where you are and the impacts that they will hopefully have. Y
