Australia orders citizens not to travel abroad
Australia told its citizens Wednesday to halt all overseas travel in an unprecedented move designed to choke off the spread of the coronavirus epidemic.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced what he called an "indefinite ban" on foreign travel at a press conference, saying, "If we slow the spread, we do save lives."
"Do not go overseas. That is very clear, that instruction," he said.
