Two members of Congress called for shutting down travel between China and the United States amid the recent coronavirus outbreak that reportedly began in Wuhan, China.

Flights from China are still being allowed to land in the United States even as federal officials expanded screening for the virus this week to 20 airports. But the situation has grown serious enough to implement a ban on travel from China, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Mike Gallgher (R-Wis.) said.
