(CNN) The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a new directive effective Sunday requiring airlines to ask passengers on flights from outside the United States if they've been to mainland China in the past 14 days. The directive comes as the Wuhan coronavirus, which was first detected in China in December, continues to spread around the world. In the United States, an eighth case of coronavirus has been confirmed -- a Boston college student in his 20s, health officials said Saturday. This applies to travel from any airport with direct flights to the US, not just airports in China." US citizens returning from the rest of mainland China in the two weeks prior will face a health screening.
