Trump backs off quarantine of New York area in favor of 'strong' travel advisory

President Trump backed down from issuing a quarantine of New York and the surrounding area to stop the spread of the coronavirus in places he has described as "hot spots."

Facing strong resistance from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who said a quarantine would be a "federal declaration of war" on the states, the president said instead that he has asked the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a "strong" travel advisory.
