Biden: ‘I’m Waiting to Hear from My Experts’ on Whether Travel from UK Should Be Banned

‘I am waiting to get response from my Covid team is whether or not we should require testing before they get on an aircraft to fly home’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: “There is growing concern today about that new variant of Covid-19 sweeping across the U.K.. Should the United States right now impose a travel ban on flights coming in from the U.K.?”
BIDEN: “As you know, there already is one unrelated to that finding the new strain. Number one. And the -- the question is whether or not the very least it only allows Americans coming home, to be able to come back to the states. Citizens. One of the things I am waiting to get a response from my Covid team is whether or not we should require testing before they get on an aircraft to fly home, number one. And number two, when they get home should they quarantine? That is my instinct, but I am waiting to hear from my experts right now.”
