247 The United States government, led by Donald Trump, intends to prevent Chinese airlines from entering the country. If confirmed, the announcement comes after the Chinese government blocked the resumption of operations by American airlines in the country. Companies such as United Airlines and Delta Air Lines requested permission to resume flights to China this month, but were not granted permission. This information comes from Reuters. 

Chinese airlines operated flights to the United States during the coronavirus pandemic. 

The restrictions, if confirmed, are expected to take effect in mid-June.

According to the Worldometers platform, which provides data on Covid-19 globally, the United States leads the world ranking of confirmed cases (1,8 million). China, where the outbreak began, is now in 17th place, with 83 cases.
