Americans returning to the United States from abroad are seeing long lines and hours-long wait times for medical screenings at airports, as stricter travel restrictions are being implemented over the novel coronavirus.
Over the past few days, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and a travel ban on travelers from Europe, most recently extending the ban to Britain and Ireland on March 14, which were previously exempt. Foreign nationals who have visited countries such as China, Iran, and certain European countries are blocked from entering the United States.
