Trump announced on March 11 that the U.S. was suspending most travel from Europe into the U.S. for 30 days in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

On March 10 and 11, Loeffler sold her shares in Booking Holdings, which facilities online bookings for travel services, flights and hotels. Those shares had been purchased March 6 — the day she visited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta with President Trump to be updated on the fast-spreading virus.
