Top U.S. health officials backed President Donald Trumps ban of travelers from most European countries, noting that the majority of new coronavirus cases are in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 70 percent of the new cases are linked to the Europe,\u201d Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield told lawmakers in Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in the United States, I think it was now 30 states in our country or more were linked actually to cases in Europe. Europe is the new China.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if the ban would have a significant impact on reducing the community spread of the coronavirus, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said yes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answer is a firm yes,\u201d he told the lawmakers during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the reason, the rationale, the public health rationale why that recommendation was made,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Patients from Europe are \u201cseeding other countries,\u201d Fauci added, restating that dozens of U.S. states have infections from European countries. \u201cSo it was pretty compelling that we needed to turn off the source from that region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trump on Wednesday night<\/a> said that travelers from Europes Schengen Area wouldnt be allowed into the United States for a month starting on Friday at midnight.<\/p>\n

While the United States restricted travel from China, where the virus started last year, on Jan. 31, many European countries failed to do so, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe,\u201d he said. The ban was announced \u201cto keep new cases from entering our shores.\u201d<\/p>\n
