'We are not putting them on planes if they test positive. It is going to be a pretty strong enforcement of quarantine,' he said, without explaining which tests would be used or where the diagnosed cases would then be treated overseas. Foreign nationals or visa holders without permanent residency will not be allowed back in the US from Friday at midnight, aside from people in the UK and Ireland which have been exempt from the ban.
