lack of preparation. we'll have the latest. well, businesses across europe are closing their doors as sweeping new restrictions kick in. we go live to paris. and thinks to think about before traveling abroad amid the pandemic. we're live in hong kong. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm anna coren. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. we've been following the troubled chaos overnight in some of america's largest airports as the impact of the white house travel bans literally hits home. well, this was the scene in chicago's o'hare airport. thousands of passengers coming in from multiple international flights. forget any hope of social distancing. and hand sanitizers no, where in sight.

passengers describe being in line for hours before being screened for coronavirus, and no one, not even staff, sure what was going on. a short time ago, my colleague michael holmes spoke with a woman caught up in it all. >> we got off our plane and were directed, you know, down a hall to the international terminal. we got on an escalator, and it was absolutely -- there were people piled up at the bottom. that line went as far as the eye could see, around the corner, all through the customs area and snaked around. we went through two different customs and immigration check points before a cdc screening. >> this is clearly more than one plane, so this was a bunch of planes coming in from europe to beat the ban? >> yes. mostly europe and i guess also a couple of other countries that are on the list.

>> absolutely extraordinary. and clearly -- i mean what was the main holdup from your perspective? >> well, we had a customs official make an announcement, kind of working his way down the line, announcing what would happen, that we were going to go through multiple screenings and we would be checked by the cdc. then he said that this was at the request of the president, and he acknowledged that everyone -- you know, that the situation was terrible and there was nothing else they could do. >> and it could get even worse after monday. that's when the u.s. travel restrictions kick in for the u k and ireland. at the white house officials say president trump has tested negative for the virus. there are now more than 2,800 cases in the country, but the cdc warns this is only the beginning. >> when this is over and it will all end, you will see a curve of

how the coronavirus evolved. we have not reached our peak. >> more now on how the trump administration extended its travel restrictions. cnn's salma abdelaziz has the da data. >> reporter: the european ban now expanded to include the uk and ireland. that's 28 countries that for the next 30 days cannot have their foreign nationals traveling to the united states. of course, the exception to that rule is american citizens and green cardholders who can travel back home as long as they undergo enhanced screening in about one of a dozen airports landing in the states. i've actually been inside heathrow airport in london speaking with citizens trying to find their way back home. they tell me they are confused an don't know how to find new guidance and feels like everything is changing by the

hour. as for the government, they say this is a decision for the americans and they're working hard to provide more information for british citizens. as far as what's going on here in tu k, we have seen a rise in the death toll. over 20 people have lost their lives due to the coronavirus. there's over a thousand confirmed cases, but experts warn there could be thousands more, up to 10,000 cases 'cross the country that simply aren't confirmed. prime minister's boris johnson has called on people to take their own measures, isolate themselves. but critics have argued that's simply not enough, that the government needs to tackle this head on, and avoid a further growth, further spread of this pandemic before it gets worse. salma abdelaziz, cnn, london. france is closing all restaurants, cafes, cinemas, and clubs to fight the coronavirus pandemic. it applies to all places that do

not perform an essential function. places of worship will remain open, but religious ceremonies and events will be postponed. catherine norris-trent joins us. tell us about the cases that have prompted this action. >> hello there, anna. yes. there was a big spike on saturday in france. 4,500 case. they're only testing those with severe symptoms and now 91 deaths from the coronavirus confirmed here in france. and these led the french government on saturday to announce sweeping new restrictions. all cafes, restaurants, bars, and theaters ordered closed as of midnight on saturday. that took a lot of people by surprise. many were still out in the streets of paris enjoying a drink or a meal on the restaurant terraces here.

when that announcement was made, they gave them four hours before the shutdown. it's hitting home now th, the severity of the situation. all schools, universities, and kindergartens will be closed now. there's a real feeling that this shutdown is much more widespread here in france. all shops that are deemed to be selling nonessential items such as food and medicines are also closed too. so we're entering a new phase. france is initially in its stage three with response to the coronavirus which means coronavirus is actively circulating all across french territory. >> catherine norris-trent, thanks for the update. the span is government is looking at the situation. the restricted movement now in place emptied the streets of

madrid. al goodman explains how it's changing life in the capital. >> this is what a state of emergency over the coronavirus looks like in madrid, people told to stay home, like the whole nation. the capital is like a ghost town. this gourmet food market which would normally be packed is closed like all the rest of the bars and restaurants in town, but it does make it easy to get one of these tuctucs. ma dreed is the hardest hit. prime minister pedro sanchez wants to slow down the pace of new infections that officials say could overwhelm hospitals. under the state of emergency starting late saturday t government banned people from leaving their homes except for a few essential activities. they can still go to food stores and pharmacies, but they have to go alone. people can go to work, but driving must be only for

essential activities, not for leisure. this man out shopping for food is a medical doctor and a cancer specialist. i am reasonably concerned, he says, but also reasonably optimistic that this situation could be controlled more quickly than what's being predicted. this butcher says his clienls are buying extra meat just in case and there are still supplies for now. as quickly as we open, we might have to close, he says. the government says it will get worse. many people don't know how this will play out. this couple arrived from brynn for a birthday celebration weekend. now they're out searching for food. >> i think the virus is spreading, and all cities are going to be getting worse, maybe on lockdown sooner than we think. >> i think it will be the same all over europe very quickly. >> reporter: but the spanish prime minister says not so fast. it will take weeks, but spaniards working together will

stop the vie ruchls al goodman, cnn, madrid. the vatican is canceling easter masses and holy day celebrations amid concerns about the virus. europe is the new epicenter of the disease, and italy has been the hardest hit in that region. the white house now says it will screen anyone coming in close contact with the president or vice president for signs of fever. that results in one person being turned away from saturday's press conference at the white house. as the president waited for results from his coronavirus test. we get more now from cnn's kristen holmes. >> reporter: well, president trump surprised reporters and americans when he announced at a press conference this morning he had decided to take the coronavirus testing. remember, this came after the president said he wasn't too concerned, that he would probably take it, but he didn't have any symptoms. now we have the results back. we're going to pull up this letter for you. this came from the white house doctor late on saturday night and here's what it says.

it says last night after an in-depn't discussion of the president regarding covid-19 testing, he elected to proceed. this evening i received confirmation that the test is a negative. he goes on to talk about the week after. ite benz a week since president trump had dinner with the brazilian delegation at m mar-a-la mar-a-lago. remember, at least one member tested positive for coronavirus. this has come at a time when we asked the president repeatedly whether or not he was going to get tested. we asked what kind of precautions he was taking to keep himself safe. essentially the president said he wasn't going to challenge anything. he said he was going to keep having those rallies. he's canceled some of those rallies, but he keep s shaking hands. we saw him shaking hands with everyone in the rose garden even though the health officials said not to have contact, to keep that social distancing.

this is clearly an effort to ramp up the reaction to the coronavirus, particularly when it comes to president trump and his safety regarding the virus. in washington, i'm kristen holmes, cnn. they're preparing for the worst at one of the u.s. epicenters of the coronavirus outbreak. when we return, we'll show you how one medical fa sill plans to keep up as the number of new patients continues to climb.

something was up, but if you call youed your airline and ask what you should do, i'm a citizen, what should i do, the airline didn't know what was going on. it was very confusing for everyone. no one knew if they could come home immediately or get a flight. it was not a clear situation. >> this evoked anger from the illinois governor. he tweeted to president trump and vice president pence he said you need to do something now. to drive the point home he added a short time later the federal government needs to get its bleep together now. we, state as kroys the u.s. are beginning to utilize drive-through facilities to test for the coronavirus. new york state opened its first on friday in the hard-hit city of new rochelle.

it's home to one of the largest classes of infections in the entire country and as new cases are diagnosed, hospitals in the area are preparing for a potential spike in new patients. cnn's dr. sanjay gupta gets a look at one facility at the epicenter of the state's outbreak. >> i am concerned. when we use the word "pandemic," i think it tells us all it's very serious. >> she manages a hospital. she gave us a look at the hospital which is now at the center of one of the country's largest outbreaks. on march 2nd, a case appears in westchester, new york. a man was tested posted and then his wife and so was his neighbor.

by march 6th, new rochelle received its first patient. not even a week later there are at least 148 positive patients in the county. >> if you look at the curves, they're like this and then like this. that's what you're preparing for here? >> yes. >> your icu is full. >> it snies how are you going to handle this part of things. >> we have plans to transferring patients to different places if we need to, plans to set up different areas of the hospital if we have to do that. it's a matter of keeping an eye on the situation all day every day and being ready to push the button at any moment. >> reporter: right now they have one and six others they're closely monitored. >> it started as a cold. i don't know if i have it or not. it started as a cold and, you know, i just want to be safe. just got checked out. >> reporter: but here's the thing. with every new or suspected

patient, it comes down to resources. >> so this has become a pretty precious commodity. ventilato ventilators, machines that can help people breathe is in high demand. you can't just move them to any room. you need a backup power supply and an oxygen line. >> i think sharing resources and thinking creatively, what about nationally? i think we're going to be needing to collaborate together and thinking about this on a larger scale. >> are you able to keep up? >> right now we are and certainly things change quickly. right now we're preparing if resources gets tight or it becomes a surge situation. >> that means keeping masks under lock and key and stocking up in warehouses, all of this at a premium. >> we saw what happened in china. we hear about hospitals being

filled to the brink really in italy and tough decisions being made about patients and patient care over there. do you anticipate that happening here? >> we certainly hope we won't make tough decisions like that, but i imagine we'll have to do so. >> i imagine at some point someone may not be able to get it because someone else may be more likely to survive or younger or healthier or whatever. that's the hardest part, i think, in all of this. >> it's heart-wrenching. we're caregivers. we took an oath to take care of people. to have to ration resources is a difficult decision to make. when we are given a choice, we try to collectively come up with the best decision that we can. >> dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, new york. we're now joined by dr. peter drobek.

let's start with dr. sanjay gupta's report. the fact is america's hospital system prepared for what it's about to face? >> well, i don't that it is yet. obviously a lot of work is going into it now. we've been a little bit slow out of the gates on this, and the time to start preparing was probably about six or eight weeks ago. there's been a very high degree of seriousness we've seen over the last couple of weeks, an we need to start prepares for the worst, making sure our hospitals and health care workers are protected. you almost have to set up a system so patients with the krons can be separated from the other hospital patients. we've seen in italy what can change once the surge of patients come. >> peter, i want your reaction

of the scenes out of chicago's o'hare airport. when i saw those, i thought that must be the perfect breeding ground for the coronavirus. >> that's the irony. you have people standing in close proximity for hours. we talk a lot about social distancing. this is the opposite of that. it's difficult to see. it's beginning, but it's also a sign of the haphazard response that we've seen from the federal government in recent weeks. >> yeah. i guess it goes to that point. you know, no hand sanitizer, which is what passengers were reporting. few face masks were being worn. i guess it shows how ill-prepared authorities are. i want to talk to you now about europe which is, of course, the epicenter of the virus and the lockdown the spain, the closure of businesses in france, and restaurants. will this stop the spread of

virus? >> the answer is we don't know. obviously they're taking as aggressive measures as are possible to stop this. if you look at the rising cases in france and spain, they're just behind italy on that exponential growth curve and cases and we can hope it's enough and the health care systems are enough, but i think they're taking the appropriate measure. >> what else needs to be done to get on top of this in the epicenter which at the moment is europe? >> well frrks what i can tell, i think everything that can be done at this time is being done, you know, taking the most aggressive measures to keep people at a distance and to prevent person-to-person spread is important. everything that can be done. the other thing you need to keep in mind is we know who the most vulnerable patients are, people

are to this particular virus, and those are the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions. and so it's extremely important that we make sure that we have policies and we have services that are really targeted to protect those most vulnerable. otherwise, we're going to see mortality rates much higher. >> peter, i just want to let our viewers know we're currently looking at live pictures in madrid, in spain. those two people just sitting there. there's a police carom we don't know if there's a police officer in the car. yeah. it looks like there's movement in the car, whether they're going to get out and move those people on. other than those people sitting there, it's a pretty empty street. you would have to assume law enforcement would move those people on considering there's a lockdown in spain. finally i want to ask you about the measures australia and new

zealand have offered. do you see other countries following suit? >> i do. and, in fact, i wouldn't be surprised if more countries restrict or isolate passengers coming from the u.s. where there is widespread community transmission. now, the sorts of measures that were announced in australia and new zealand are probably going to be most effective in places where you don't yet have community transmission, and it's really important. we're seeing this voluntarily, people are traveling less. american airlines announced the suspension of most of its long haul international flights, so we're seeing this decrease in massive travel, and that should only help to limit the further spread of the virus. >> i guess you hope that people adhere to that self quarantine because this is, of course, very

hard to police. peter drobac, great as always to get your insight. we appreciate you. thank you. >> thank you. countries around the world trying to combat the coronavirus, but it's taking a huge toll on the world's economic health. the warning from economists is next. my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. they are both very much hand in hand. so you should really be focusing on both and definitely at the same time.

the new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. by brushing with sensodyne sensitivity & gum at home it's giving you the relief that you need and the control that you need to take care of your oral health. and it creates a healthier environment. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm anna coren. you're watching "cnn newsroom." thousands of people are living a traveling nightmare across

airports in the u.s. like o'hare in chicago. there are unimaginably long lines for hours and hours to get cdc screenings to ensure arriving passengers do not have symptoms of the coronavirus. the new u.s. travel restrictions on people have been extended to include those traveling from the united kingdom and ireland. it goes into effect midnight monday. it does not apply to american citizens, but they must self-quarantine once back in the u.s. the world health organization say there are more than 152,000 infections worldwide and more than 5,700 deaths. countries across europe are taking drastic measures to stop the spread of the virus. people must stay home unless they're going to home, buying food, or caring for a child or elderly person. france is closing all restaurants, cafes, cinemas arc and clubs to fight the pandemic. it applies to all places that do

not perform an essential function. central banks in saudi arabia and uae announced a combined $40 billion stimulus plan, and we're still in the middle of an oil price war as saudi arabia and russia fight over the price of crude oil. john defterios joins us now from saudi arabia. we've seen these being put in place in europe that will have an economic impact. >> they're trying to put the health of the society first, and then there's the damage, of course, to the economy. you have factories already shuttered and now we're seeing all consumers facing shutdowns as well. i have to think of the bigger context of them. if you take the three, france, spain, and italy, 170 million consumers, that's a large market on their own burke they rank one, two, and five in terms of

tourism destinations worldwide around the world. it's incredible this can happen. we have to think about losing half a year of growth, probably one to two quarters of deep contractions going here as a result of the decisions going here today, and it's that uncertainty that's hovering over the stockmarkets in europe and the united states in particular. let's take a look at what we're seeing for dow futures on monday. we're looking at a loss of two-thirds. we had a huge rally taking place on friday with a gain of 9% after president trump put forth the emergency measures, but we have to remind our viewers, we're in bear market in the united states with losses of still 20% in 2020 despite the 9% jump on friday. we're in an extraordinary period of time, anna. >> you mentioned that bear market oil prices entered the bear market. is this why we see them moving to provide funds?

>> and moving quickly. we got a call on saturday night they'll have this announcement on the table. it's about $40 billion between the two largest economies in the gulf. that would be saudi arabia and the uae. i find it interesting the bulk is coming from the uae itself, $27 billion. yes, they're still dependent heavily on oil despite all the efforts to diversify going forward. you have to think back january 6th. the price of oil was $76. we're hovering below $35 a barrel. the government revenues would be cut half. they were joined also on this sunday by egypt with some $6 billion on the table. the market reaction has been interesting. dubai was down 4%. nearly 5%. i see the losses are down below 2% and the saudi arabia is down a quarter of percent. but after having all the stimulus on the market, you would think it would rise on the day narngd the last hour of

trading, we see abu dhabi, the financial market, is going to put a limit. they don't want people trading on the floors because of the concern of the virus, although, i have to say, you don't stee panic on the markets or the street, just a lot of precautions taken by the government. >> john defterios, great to view putting us at ease and all into context for us. many thanks. >> thanks, anna. the white house is facing criticism over the threat the virus closes. the u.s. lags far behind other countries in terms of testing, and we've seen how decisions to close schools and public events are being made at a local level rather than a coordinated nationwide approach. even as the travel bans expand, there are concerns what needs to be done within the country to keep it from spreading. well, our michael bociurkiw

raises an issue in the op-ed for cnn, writing, while president donald trump introduced travel restrictions to china on the january 31, the u.s. squandered the intervening weeks with confusing and inaccurate messages, while continuing cast the virus at a foreign threat all while failing to identify and test the growing number of cases within the country. michael joins us now. you summed it up very succinctly. the president, he has been behind the eight ball from the get-go. >> yeah. and, you know, anna, just the press briefing today even showing how uncoordinated, how unprepared they are. and even, anna, the signaling that has been projected from the white house, standing so closely

together with the team when at the same time they're advocating distancing. a lot of what we're seeing here is opposite of what we've seen in singapore and the hong kongs of the world where they started number one, very, very early on when this was a crisis, but secondly, putting in strict measures like quarantines and contract tracings and the early, early bans. a lot of experts have told me it's only a one- or two-week delay that could make a disaster or success in creating the coronavirus. >> as we know, this has been going on since december and it has spread pretty quickly since then. obviously china, asia, which was impacted straight away took it very seriously, but in the rest of the world, america in the west, there's been this apathy from world leaders. is that ignorance,

misinformation, or belief that it was just china/asia's problem? >> i think it's a mix of all of it. at least in singapore and hong kong, the memory of the sars outbreak, which was very, very difficult on them is still fresh. and in places like singapore, they had a couple of things helping them, one being the clean sanitary conditions. they listen to their government. in terms of western leaders, a lot of uncoordinated actions. i listen to those w.h.o. meetings every day. get supplies in condition before it become as crisis. theechb they applied trade and travel restrictions, it was ignored. i think we're in big trouble as a wide community why? because if the governments are not listening to the w.h.o. who is in a good position to deal

with these outbreaks, we're going to be fighting this a long longer than we actually should be. >> michael, we heard from the top u.s. health official who said it's going to get a lot worse before it improves. how much worse, do you believe? >> you know, anna, it send as chill down my back. i was traveling around a bit on the island. the trains are still packed. what you notice is a lot of the people on the bottom of the economic ladder cannot afford to take ubers or walk long distance, so social distancing is not happening. it seems like when you have a president who continues to take victory laps but also point the blame elsewhere so that crucial, crucial public messaging of what to do is not coming out. and now we're seeing local governments acting independently

proactively. just, i believe, a few hours ago, the mayor of hoboken declared a curfew. so all of this is going to be uncoordinated and doesn't bode v well for coronavirus response. >> there was criticism in places like china, hong kong, singapore for their overreaction, paranoia, people being hypervigilant. you cannot walk outside this building without putting on an mask. people will yell at you if your mouth is not covered. in hindsight, should the west be taking this more seriously. >> absolutely. now is the time for draconian measures. the public is ready for sharp and short measures, even if that includes curfews, shutting down the economy.

i think the mentality is let's get this over with, have short-term pain, and that's the only way we're going to beat this thing. >> really. obviously, americans, they protect their independence. that is something they hold sacred, so being told, you know, they have to lock down, you believe that they will abide by that? >> i believe so. i think a lot of people are ready to self-isolate. they're taking their own measures, canceling travel and meetings. my big worry is when we're getting a confusing message from the white house when the president is more concerned with his popularity ratings than protecting the public, america is in big trouble here. i wish them the best. the prime minister of canada has introduced something based on science and fact and not just knee-jerk reactions. >> michael bociurkiw, thank you

for being on the shoech. we really appreciate it. >> my pleasure. iran is lashing out as it faces its worst coronavirus outbreak. hassan rouhani has reached out. at least 12,000 people have been affected in iran with more than 600 deaths. u.s. president donald trump is largely responsible for restoring sanctions on iran. tehran has rejected his offer of help with the virus. the u.s. is trying to rectify a nationwide shortage of coronavirus tests. so why can celebrities get the exam so quickly when average americans cannot? our report is next. et the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the best of pressure cooking and air frying now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology, you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the pressure cooker that crisps.

pistons. the pistons played the utah jazz recently, and as you know, the jazz has two players who tested posted. it's raising questionsing about possible preferential medical treatment for celebrities. >> reporter: 15 minutes before the oklahoma city thunder and utah jazz were set to start a wednesday night game, doctors in a state laboratory across town in oklahoma city city were learning that rudy bow bare tested positive for the coronavirus. the race was on to stop the game and stop the spread of the virus. a team of health officials descended on the basketball arena floor and tested them all. before this night, the nba and team physicians were reportedly told to have plans in place in case players started showing coronavirus symptoms. the team didn't leave the arena

until well after mind thursday morning. >> how did the team get 5 te8 ts when there's so much of a struggle across the country? how did one team get 58 tests? >> we department know exactly what the situation was. once we got the positive test, we didn't know what the extent of that was. you certainly do want to concentrate on those who had close personal contact with a positive case. >> oklahoma health commissioner gary cox said the state can carry out 100 test as day, so the tests for the jazz team took up more than half the resources. the testing of the utah jazz basketball team was prioritized because of the symptoms several players were showing, but also because it was such a large group of people that had traveled extensively in the weeks before arriving in oklahoma city.

at the same time several celebrities have received testing. tom hanks and rita wilson were tested and positive in australia. celine dion was tested. the test came back negative. charles barkley was tested thursday >> i'm in limbo right now. i'm really hoping it's just a bug. i was in new york earlier this week. it was just a hot spot. when i got to atlanta, i wasn't feeling well. >> i'm cross the country, the lack of coronavirus testing has been a source of frustration and criticism. kevin jenkins said he spent a week at disney world with his family and starts feeling sick on the drive home to georgia. >> so there's no test kits anybody's aware of. there's no other alternatives to go if somebody runs out of test kits. it's like you're hitting a brick wall if you need to be tested

thousands of americans are returning to the u.s. from abroad only to encounter massive bottlenecks like this. each person is being screened for the coronavirus. if you're joining us, a live report is just ahead on "new day." it's creating a dilemma for travelers, especially if they booked in advance. not everyone is rushing to cancel their flight. cnn's anna stewart is looking at if it's still safe to take that trip. >> reporter: coronavirus is continuing to spread fast around the world, and some governments have placed travel bans on passengers coming from certain areas. so for some globetrotters, that dream vacation may have to be put on hold, but for others, there's still the option to go. and with many train stations and airports still packed with passengers jetting off to various locations, you may wonder, should i stay or should

i go. the answer, well, it's something of an equation. where are you going, who are you, what would happen if for some reason you get stuck at your destination, and what will the impact be on your return? let's take the first of the equation. where are you going? >> the situation's really fast-moving and changing almost every day, so the key thing is if you're going to travel, check the government website both of your home country and where you're going to see if it's a high-risk area. we know there are areas people shouldn't travel to at all such as wuhan province and iran. >> some have closed their borders while others have banned to and from specific regions in the world. the u.s. has recently warned citizens to reconsider traveling abroad. then there's the question of who you are. >> we know there are risks, people with underlying illnesses and older people. >> reporter: underlying diseases

putting people at risk include lung disease and diabetes. what happens if once you get there you can't get home? are you covered by insurance? and if not, can you afford an extended trip? >> certainly people shouldn't be traveling to areas if the government's saying they don't want visitors because there's no way they'll be insured. there's a possibility you could be stuck somewhere for two weeks, and you need to consider that. >> the last factor to consider, will you need to self-quarantine on your return? depending on where you travel or connect to, there are varying degrees of risk, and you also need to consider how easy it would be to work from home and whether your employer will pay you to do that? >> i think certain areas that are high-risk arias, they need to self-isolate. but in most areas where there's

an outbreak, as long as you're well, get home, get home safely, and if you don't have any symptoms, things should be okay. >> reporter: so should you stay, or should you go, it will be different for everyone. you have to work out that risk. do remember there's always next year, and your health is much more important than a holiday. >> anna stewart reporting. that wraps up this hour of cnn. i'm anna coren in hong kong. new day is straight ahead. for everyone else, i'll be right back with the headlines. - [spokeswoman] meet the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the best of pressure cooking and air frying now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology,
