'Close the door on China?' New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said. 'It's closing the barn door when the horse is gone.'
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Thursday said that President Donald Trump's temporary China travel ban did little to stop the spread of coronavirus in his state because that specific strain came from Europe.
Cuomo was asked whether he believed the travel ban enforced in late January made a difference to his state during CNN's global coronavirus town hall on Thursday."It had already left China," the governor said."The strain in New York came from Europe, it didn't come from China." New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gives his a press briefing about the coronavirus crisis on April 17, 2020 in Albany, New York.While some Democrats called the China travel ban"racist," many health experts believed that it was an effective measure that bought the U.S. time to mitigate the outbreak.
