President Donald Trump said Saturday that he’s considering a short-term quarantine of New York state, New Jersey, and parts of Connecticut, as cases of coronavirus continue to rise, according to a CNN report.

From the CNN report:

“We’re thinking about certain things. Some people would like to see New York quarantined because it’s a hotspot. … We might not have to do it, but there’s a possibility that sometime today we’ll do a quarantine, short-term, two weeks on New York. Probably New Jersey, certain parts of Connecticut,” he told reporters as he departed the White House.

“I’d rather not do it, but we may need it,” the President said.

Trump said that the possible quarantine would be “enforceable” and “restrict travel” from those parts of the tri-state area.

“Restrict travel, because they’re having problems down in Florida, a lot of New Yorkers going down. We don’t want that,” he said.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that he spoke with Trump on Saturday morning, but that the two had not discussed a quarantine for the state.

According to a Daily Beast report, Cuomo quickly hit back, saying in response to Trump’s float of a three-state quarantine: “’I don’t know what that means,’ and asserting that the president had not discussed the matter with him when they spoke on Saturday morning.”
