Several airlines are responding to the global outbreak of Coronavirus by cutting flights to China. The most recent announcement comes from American Airlines on Wednesday, that said it suspended two routes to China citing a “significant decline in demand for travel to and from China.”

Moreover, the White House told airline executives on Tuesday it’s considering suspending flights from China to the U.S. amid an escalating outbreak of a new coronavirus that has infected thousands of people across the world, people familiar with the matter said.

The restrictions could affect flights into and out of China, as well as airports across the United States, the officials said. American Airlines made the decision on their own, as cases of infection have increased to over 6,000 with an estimated 132 deaths so far.

Further, two people in Washington D.C. have been tested for the coronavirus and are awaiting test results, according to a local NBC affiliate. Currently, there are five people in the United States who have tested positive for the virus, and recently other people have tested positive for the virus in France, Germany and Australia.

U.S. health officials are fast-tracking work on a coronavirus vaccine, hoping to start an early-stage trial within the next three months, the Trump administration said. That timeline is optimistic, and a phase 1 trial does not mean “you have a vaccine that’s ready for deployment,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told ABC News.

The flights from Los Angeles International Airport to Shanghai Pudong Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport will stop from Feb. 9 through March 27.

Other airlines to stop flights include British Airways, United Airlines, South Korea’s Air Seoul, and Indonesia’s Lion Air.
