GOP Senators Call For China Travel Ban
(Washington, DC) -- A group of Republican senators wants President Biden to temporarily ban travel between the U.S. and China. That's due to a recent spike in Chinese respiratory illness cases. The lawmakers led by Florida Senator Marco Rubio said travel should be restricted until more is known about the pneumonia outbreaks in children, adding that China has a "long history of lying about public health crises." CDC Director Mandy Cohen this week told lawmakers this week her agency is confident the outbreaks are being caused by known pathogens like the flu and RSV.
