WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Saturday (Mar 28) he is weighing placing a two-week quarantine on New York and nearby states, the US epicentre of coronavirus infections, to slow the spread of the disease to other parts of the country.
The harshest measure yet by the US government in the face of the coronavirus pandemic could isolate over 10 million people in the country's most densely populated region, and would come as total infections across the country have passed 115,000.
