President Donald Trump is restricting the entry of anyone who has been to Brazil in the last 14 days into the United States.

“I have determined that it is in the interests of the United States to take action to restrict and suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the Federative Republic of Brazil during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States,” the order says. 

Brazil has had over 347,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, as of Sunday. There have also been over 22,000 deaths related to coronavirus in the country.

“Today’s action will help ensure foreign nationals who have been in Brazil do not become a source of additional infections in our country,” said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. “These new restrictions do not apply to the flow of commerce between the United States and Brazil.”

It’s likely that Brazil will not be the only country to see restricted access to the United States. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brienthe told CBS’s “Face the Nation,” that the White House would “take a look at the other countries on a country by country basis” in that region.

Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly believes it's safe to fly again and is hopeful business will pick up for the airline.

“We’re doing everything possible to encourage people to come back and fly,” he told CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan. "We're cleaning airplanes and we're requiring masks for our employees and our customers. We're using very deep cleanings every night. We're using electrostatic misters, which will kill the virus on surfaces for up to thirty days. We're exercising social distancing. And onboard the aircraft, we won't be booking aircraft full, so that people can spread out."

Other airlines including Delta, United, American, and JetBlue are all also requiring passengers to wear face masks.

Southwest Airlines reported a quarterly loss of $94 million in April. Kelly says business has improved each week of the last month and expects it to continue to do so.

Kelly says 400 aircrafts have been grounded during the pandemic. “The demand is not there,” he said. “So, obviously if things don’t improve we have to downsize.”

“[We’re] doing everything we can to make it as safe as humanly possible,” he added. “I don’t think the risk on an airplane is any greater risk than anywhere else."

News updates about the coronavirus are unavoidable. As the world takes precautions to contain the pandemic as much as possible, President Donald Trump has been criticized for not making moves to protect American citizens. On Wednesday (March 11), Trump answered his naysayers by addressing the world from the White House’s Oval Office in a video public service announcement.

According to PEOPLE, there are just over 1,000 reported cases of coronavirus in the United States. It’s reported that 54,000 people have recovered from the illness while 4,000 have died. In his statement, Trump said that the World Health Organization has officially declared coronavirus to be a pandemic.

“After consulting with our top government health professionals, I have decided to take several strong but necessary actions to protect the health and well-being of all Americans,” Trump said. “To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday (March 13) at midnight.”

“These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground,” the President added. “There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings.” Restrictions will also be placed on any cargo or items making their way from Europe, not including the United Kingdom.

He clarified that for the “vast majority of Americans the risk is very low” and “young and healthy people can expect to recover quickly if they should get the virus.” People with the highest risk is for the elderly with health issues. Watch Donald Trump give his announcement below.

Health tips have become a huge priority lately in response to the widespread outbreak of coronavirus over the past few weeks. The mere potential of contracting the disease has affected many aspects of our lives, from movie sets to even the possibility of Coachella being postponed to October if not canceled altogether. Supermodel Naomi Campbell isn’t taking any chances either, and is currently traveling with full fashionable protection from head to toe.

Although we saw Naomi covered up more than usual while walking the TommyNow show by Tommy Hilfiger during London Fashion Week last month (seen above), the iconic beauty icon went even further while traveling from Los Angeles to NYC recently. Page Six nabbed photos of Campbell rocking a “chic” white hazmat suit paired with pink surgeon gloves and a standard blue surgical mask. She dolled it up with a beige camel scarf, but even still her extremely protective get-up didn’t go unnoticed one bit. While the fact that flu is killing more people than coronavirus makes this whole thing seem a bit reductive, we can’t knock the catwalk queen for protecting herself at all costs against this viral infection. Stay safe, Naomi!

Head overt to Page Six to see her full-body protective gear “lewk,” and check out her YouTube airport health routine tutorial below from last year for proof that Naomi has been ahead of the coronavirus curve for a minute now:

Paul George is easily one of the best players in the NBA when he is at the top of his game. The Los Angeles Clippers have been thriving with him in their lineup and as the playoffs approach, it's clear the team is a contender to win it all. Having said that, players like George are able to get away with a lot. When you're a star, the officials give you the benefit of the doubt, especially if you've been kind to the referees over the years. On Monday night, that's exactly what happened to George as he got away with an absolutely egregious non-call.

In the clip below, George can be seen with a ton of space in front of him. When he gets the ball, he takes an obscene amount of steps before going with a dunk. If you watch closely, it's clear he took way more steps than you're allowed to. Regardless, the referee let it slide and George went on his way.
