A group of five Senate Republicans signed a Friday letter to Biden.

- Marco Rubio (R-FL)
- JD Vance (R-OH)
- Rick Scott (R-FL)
- Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)
- Mike Braun (R-IN)
The GOP senators are calling for Biden to immediately restrict travel between the U.S. and China until more information is gathered about the dangers posed by the new illness.
In recent weeks, China has seen a sharp rise in unexplained childhood pneumonia cases and other respiratory illnesses.
Citing China’s “long history of lying about public health crises,” Republicans are calling for swift action to be taken to protect the health of Americans and the economy.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, the CCP’s obfuscation of the truth, and lack of transparency, robbed the United States of vital knowledge about the disease and its origin,” the lawmakers wrote.
“That means we should immediately restrict travel between the United States and [China] until we know more about the dangers posed by this new illness.
“A ban on travel now could save our country from death, lockdowns, mandates, and further outbreaks later.”
