In the United States, where the ban on immigration from Europe has been imposed, there has been great turmoil at the airport as many Americans in Europe returned home. Another city in the United States announced the first ban.

Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The airport passage is full of passengers waiting for immigration.

Most of them are American passengers from Europe.

They are in a hurry to return home as the US government has imposed a ban on immigration to foreigners from Europe and is concerned about the risk of infection and the possibility of future immigration.

The problem is that as passengers flock together and the Corona 19 quarantine process is tightened, it takes as little as 3 to 10 hours to get out of the airport.

[American passengers: After the doctor re-examined the heat, I asked for the route. It was just that, but it took too long. It was really inefficient.]

As the public condemnation of the airport congestion grew, President Trump tweeted, "I hope you understand the confusion and delay that the airport is undergoing precise medical examinations."

With the total number of corona19 confirmed in the United States surpassing 3,000, the US health authorities have repeatedly emphasized social distance.

Other cities have announced curfew measures to prevent the spread of infection.

Hobo Conci, New Jersey, near New York, where the number of confirmers is increasing, said citizens are banned from tomorrow (17th) local time to 10:00 am to 5:00 pm local time.
