US considering COVID-19 scanning for international air travellers: Trump

April 29, 2020 08:52

The United States is considering coronavirus scanning of air travellers from countries hit hard by the virus to stop its spread in the country, President Donald Trump has said. Trump told reporters that this could be done in coordination with either the airlines or government.

"We're working with the airlines. Maybe it's a combination of both,' he said. "We're looking at doing it on the international flights coming out of areas that are heavily infected," he said.

"But, I think that we're going to look at it from the standpoint--I was discussing that with the Governor of Florida, with Ron (DeSantis), a little while ago. So, we're going to be looking at that coming in from other countries, frankly, but South America seems to be one that's talked about because they have so much business going into Florida," he said.
