US travel restrictions in “additional countries” will soon be announced by the Trump Administration, Transportation Security Administration Administrator David Pekoske said today.

The current restrictions generally apply to non-US citizens who have been in China or Iran in the last two weeks.

Pekoske did not say which countries will be added.

Testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Pekoske also told lawmakers, coronavirus is “a top priority for everyone” and that the agency is taking precautions for its workforce.
