Rick Scott Calls for Closing U.S. Borders, Mobile Testing by Friday

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) called on Tuesday for closing the U.S. borders and putting a coronavirus mobile testing site in every county by the end of the week.

Scott, a former hospital association executive, released a statement on Tuesday calling on every American to come together and stop the coronavirus epidemic.

Scott said that the country should:

  • Close the U.S. borders and end travel from any foreign country except for American citizens and legal permanent residents.
  • Solve the testing issue by establishing a mobile testing site in every county in the country by Friday.
  • Call upon National Guard units and active duty military to help support the mobile testing sites.
  • Enforce social distancing measures. He added that national quarantine is challenging to enforce and serves as a waste of resources.
  • Protect supply chains for protective equipment for healthcare workers and first responders.
