The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued new rules Feb. 2 to place restrictions on Americans who recently have visited China in an attempt to curb the spread of the coronavirus that has ravaged several cities in China.

Homeland Security said it will now begin to enforce “restrictions for all passenger flights to the United States carrying individuals who have recently traveled from” China, which will be implemented on flights after 5 p.m. New York time on Sunday, according to a news release.
