San Francisco, Nov 25 (EFE / EPA) .- Millions of travelers in the United States wednesday ignored the warnings of health authorities to not travel before Thanksgiving festivities to curb the coronavirus pandemic.(Camera: JOHN MABANGLO)SHOT LIST: THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, US.
"On a normal Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving ... typically, we have a quarter of a million passengers," says Charles Pannunzio, a spokesperson for Los Angeles International Airport. This year, LAX says it expects only a third of those numbers of travelers. Stopping short of issuing an outright ban, the US government's health protection agency has for the first time called on Americans not to travel for the annual holiday, which sees families get together over turkey, yams and cranberry sauce and for many is more important than Christmas.

The CDC is urging Americans not to travel for the Thanksgiving holidays. The move to limit travel is in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. According to UPI, a "strong recommendation" was made as the agency published updated guidelines for holiday travel. The federal agency also issued guidance on gatherings during the holidays. The agency said the need for caution is in response to the "surge in new cases, hospitalizations and deaths". "We're alarmed about the exponential [increases]," said Dr. Henry Walke, incident manager at the CDC.
