U.S. becoming further isolated by COVID-19 crisis

The United States found itself increasingly isolated from the world Tuesday as COVID-19 continued to spread across southern and western states.

With America's coronavirus death toll climbing to nearly 127,000, the European Union lifted travel restrictions for 15 countries but not the U.S.

Even China, where the deadly pandemic is believed to have started back in December, made the EU's cut of countries where the rate of infection is deemed low enough to allow people from those places to travel into the bloc.

"The way in which the current American administration has dealt with the virus, I don't think it would be responsible for any European leader to basically let Americans in at the moment," former Finnish prime minister Alexander Stubb told NBC News.

President Donald Trump waited until March 13 to declare a national emergency and has been pushing aggressively to get the country's economy moving again, even as health experts are warning that the pandemic could still get worse.
