SUSPENSION OF ENTRY AS IMMIGRANTS AND NONIMMIGRANTS OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PERSONS WHO POSE A RISK OF TRANSMITTING 2019 NOVEL CORONAVIRUS
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On January 31, 2020, I issued Proclamation 9984 (Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Pose a Danger of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus and Other Applicable Measures To Handle This Danger). I discovered that the potential for widespread transmission of a novel (new) coronavirus (which has since been renamed "SARS-CoV-2" and causes the disease COVID-19) ("SARS-CoV-2" or "the virus") by infected people looking for to enter the United States threatens the security of our transportation system and infrastructure and the nationwide security. Because the outbreak of the virus was on the time centered within the Individuals's Republic of China, I suspended and restricted the entry of all aliens who have been bodily current inside the Individuals's Republic of China, excluding the Particular Administrative Areas of Hong Kong and Macau, during the 14-day period preceding their entry or tried entry into the United States, topic to certain exceptions. On February 29, 2020, in recognition of the sustained person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the Islamic Republic of Iran, I issued Proclamation 9992 (Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Certain Further Persons Who Pose a Danger of Transmitting 2019 Novel Coronavirus), suspending and limiting the entry of all aliens who have been bodily current inside the Islamic Republic of Iran through the 14-day period previous their entry or attempted entry into america, topic to certain exceptions.
The Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention (CDC), a element of the Department of Well being and Human Providers, has determined that the virus presents a critical public well being menace, and CDC continues to take steps to stop its spread. However CDC, along with State and local well being departments, has limited assets, and the general public health system could possibly be overwhelmed if sustained human-to-human transmission of the virus occurred in the United States on a large scale. Sustained human-to-human transmission has the potential to trigger cascading public health, economic, nationwide safety, and societal consequences.
The World Health Group has decided that multiple nations inside the Schengen Space are experiencing sustained person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2. For functions of this proclamation, the Schengen Space includes 26 European states: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The Schengen Area presently has the most important variety of confirmed COVID-19 instances outdoors of the Individuals's Republic of China. As of March 11, 2020, the variety of instances within the 26 Schengen Area nations is 17,442, with 711 deaths, and exhibits high steady progress in infection charges. In complete, as of March 9, 2020, the Schengen Area has exported 201 COVID-19 instances to 53 nations. Furthermore, the free move of people between the Schengen Space nations makes the duty of managing the unfold of the virus troublesome.
The USA Government is unable to successfully consider and monitor all the vacationers persevering with to arrive from the Schengen Space. The potential for undetected transmission of the virus by infected people looking for to enter america from the Schengen Area threatens the safety of our transportation system and infrastructure and the nationwide security. Given the significance of defending persons inside the USA from the menace of this harmful communicable disease, I've decided that it's in the pursuits of america to take motion to prohibit and suspend the entry into the USA, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who have been physically present inside the Schengen Area in the course of the 14-day interval preceding their entry or attempted entry into america. The free move of commerce between the USA and the Schengen Area nations remains an economic precedence for america, and I remain committed to facilitating trade between our nations.
