The total number of Corona19 patients in the United States has grown to nearly 1,300. As the number of confirmed patients has increased rapidly, the level of response by the provincial governments in the affected area is also increasing.

New York State banned more than 500 meetings and events, followed by Washington and Oregon's more than 250 meetings.

Because of this, New York Broadway, famous for its various performances, also stopped performing, and large museums were temporarily closed.

Following the cessation of the US professional basketball game, the North American ice hockey game was also halted. Despite these measures, there is growing concern that the spread of Corona 19 in the United States will accelerate.

As the controversy arose as a result of backlash from European countries against entry to travelers from Europe, Trump explained that there was no time for prior consultations.

President Trump also said that the Tokyo Olympics may have to be postponed for a year, and that the Olympic games without spectators are unimaginable.
