Today, President Trump sending a Navy hospital ship toe help hard hit New York.

But as he departed the White House, Trump floated the idea of shutting down the entire region.

There's a possibility that sometime today we'll do a quarantine short term.

Two weeks on New York, probably New Jersey.

Proposed order could affect the Tri States more than 30 million residents, the most populous urban area in the country.

This would be an enforceable.

I'd rather not do it, but we may need it.

The president saying he spoke to New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo, before his announcement.

But during his own press conference minutes later, the governor caught off guard.

I haven't had those conversations.

I don't even know what that means.

I don't know how that could be legally enforceable on from a medical point of view.

I don't know what you would be accomplishing, but I can tell you I just I don't even like the sound of it, not even understanding what it is.

A regional quarantine of such magnitude appears to be unprecedented.

Tom Bossert worked for President Trump as his homeland security adviser, although the president does have these authorities.

It'll almost be a necessary precondition that the governor and the mayor and all of the officials under their command and control, do this voluntarily in agreement and, more importantly, with their cooperation, Trump says.

Governors from states less affected by the virus asked him to look into a quarantine for the tri state area South Carolina, Texas, Maryland, Florida among the states ordering visitors from some areas like New York and Louisiana to self isolate In Rhode Island.

Folks from New York present a different kind of danger to the people of Earth Island.

I know this is unusual.

I know it's extreme, and I know some people don't agree with it.

The virus striking around the country in Illinois, more than 450 new cases and 13 deaths including an infant.

When it's not taken seriously at the federal level, it's very difficult to transcend down to the local level in making these decisions.

In Los Angeles, officials implemented even more restrictions, closing most hiking trails and beaches offshore.

Stephanie Ramos joins us now from New York and Stephanie.

I want to go back to the president's comments about possibly quarantining parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

When the president first made the comments, it surprised some of the governors of those states.

Absolutely, Tom.

And there are still a lot of questions tonight.

New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo, says a multi state quarantine would not be legal and that it would be more of a lock down.

And Connecticut's governor, who says he's been in touch with Cuomo.

He says he wants to speak to the president about this.

Afraid confusion could lead to panic.
