    Proclamation 10041 of May 24, 2020
    Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Certain
    Additional Persons Who Pose a Risk of Transmitting 2019 Novel
    Coronavirus
    By the President of the United States of America
    A Proclamation
    In Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020 (Declaring a National Emergency
    Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak), I
    declared a national emergency recognizing the threat that the novel
    (new) coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 poses to our Nation's healthcare
    systems. It is the policy of the United States to respond to the
    ongoing, unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 (the disease caused by SARS-
    CoV-2) with every tool and resource available to the United States
    Government. Consistent with this policy, I have suspended and limited
    the entry of aliens recently present in certain foreign jurisdictions
    where significant COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred. These jurisdictions
    include the People's Republic of China (excluding the Special
    Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau), the Islamic Republic of
    Iran, the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom (excluding overseas
    territories outside of Europe), and the Republic of Ireland.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a component of the
    Department of Health and Human Services, working in close coordination
    with the Department of Homeland Security, has determined that the
    Federative Republic of Brazil is experiencing widespread, ongoing
    person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2. As of May 23,

    2020, the World Health Organization reported that the Federative
    Republic of Brazil had 310,087 confirmed cases of COVID-19, which is the
    third highest number of confirmed cases in the world.
    The potential for undetected transmission of the virus by infected
    individuals seeking to enter the United States from the Federative
    Republic of Brazil threatens the security of our transportation system
    and infrastructure and the national security, and I have determined that
    it is in the interests of the United States to take action to restrict
    and suspend the entry into the United States, as immigrants or
    nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the
    Federative Republic of Brazil during the 14-day period preceding their
    entry or attempted entry into the United States. The free flow of
    commerce between the United States and the Federative Republic of Brazil
    remains an economic priority for the United States, and I remain
    committed to facilitating trade between our nations.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, by
    the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
    United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the
    Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), and
    section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the
    un-

    [[Page 5276]]

    restricted entry into the United States of persons described in
    section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in section
    2 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United
    States, and that their entry should be subject to certain restrictions,
    limitations, and exceptions. I therefore hereby proclaim the following:
    Section 1. Suspension and Limitation on Entry. The entry into the United
    States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were
    physically present within the Federative Republic of Brazil during the
    14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United
    States is hereby suspended and limited subject to section 2 of this
    proclamation.
    Sec. 2. Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry.
    (a) Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply to:

    permanent resident, provided that both are unmarried and under the age
    of 21;

    citizen or lawful permanent resident, or who is a prospective adoptee
    seeking to enter the United States pursuant to the IR-4 or IH-4 visa
    classifications;

    Government for a purpose related to containment or mitigation of the

    official or immediate family member of an official), E-1 (as an employee
    of TECRO or TECO or the employee's immediate family members), G-1, G-2,
    G-3, G-4, NATO-1 through NATO-4, or NATO-6 (or seeking to enter as a
    nonimmigrant in one of those NATO categories); or
    (B) whose travel falls within the scope of section 11 of the
    United Nations Headquarters Agreement;
    (ix) any alien who is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces and any

    enforcement objectives, as determined by the Secretary of State,

    [[Page 5277]]

    the Secretary of Homeland Security, or their respective designees, based on
    a recommendation of the Attorney General or his designee; or
    (xii) any alien whose entry would be in the national interest, as
    determined by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland
    Security, or their designees.
    (b) Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to affect any
    individual's eligibility for asylum, withholding of removal, or

    Degrading Treatment or Punishment, consistent with the laws and

    Secretary of Transportation, and the Secretary of Homeland Security
    shall ensure that any alien subject to this proclamation does not board

    (c) The Secretary of Homeland Security may establish standards and
    procedures to ensure the application of this proclamation at and between
    all United States ports of entry.

    any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby; and
