　　U.S. Department of Defense extends travel ban until June 30

　　On April 18, local time, according to an official of the US Department of Defense, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper ordered the extension of the travel restrictions that the Department of Defense originally planned to terminate in May to June 30. The content of the prohibition prohibits the movement of DoD staff and family members in destination countries severely affected by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic defined by the US Centers for Disease Control as "Travel Warning Level 3", while suspending new global deployments of most US troops. According to reports, the order will take effect on the 19th local time, and the Ministry of Defense will continue to follow up on the progress of the epidemic, and will reassess it every 15 days to decide whether to end the ban. Esper previously said at a Pentagon briefing that it would follow the guidance of medical experts and decide whether to gradually open up military transfers. (CCTV reporter Xu Tao)
