Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, said he doesn’t see the need “in the immediate future” for the US to implement travel restrictions domestically because of the outbreak.

“I mean, they’ve been discussed, but not seriously discussed,” Fauci said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. “I don’t see that right now or in the immediate future. But remember, we are very open-minded about whatever it takes to preserve the health of the American public.”

President Trump raised the idea of limiting travel in the US during a White House news conference Saturday.

“If you don’t have to travel, I wouldn’t do it. We want this thing to end. We don’t want a lot of people getting infected,” he said.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said visitors from states with outbreaks are traveling to other areas of the country and infecting people.

“We’re seeing cases where people clearly contracted it somewhere else and brought it here,” DeSantis said on Saturday.

Florida has 113 coronavirus cases and four deaths.

The Trump administration has instituted travel bans for China, South Korea, Iran, Europe and the United Kingdom and Ireland as global cases of coronavirus have surpassed 162,000 and the death toll is at 6,069.

American citizens returning home from overseas have been met with long lines for screening at airports across the country.

Fauci, who heads up the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the government doesn’t like to see such large crowds because of the ease of spreading the virus.

“Obviously whenever you have crowds, that’s the thing we’ve been talking about that we really want to implement is to have that kind of social separation, that is countermanding that and hopefully people understand that you don’t have to rush back,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”

But he said he understands that when people are confronted by a travel ban, “they immediately want to … get home.”
