Coronavirus pandemic in the US

After months of electronic-only trading, the New York Stock Exchange is set to reopen the trading floor today. But rather than the bustling images we've grown accustomed to, floor brokers will return in smaller numbers, wear protective masks and socially distance. 

CNN's Alison Kosik talked to Jonathan Corpina, a senior managing partner with Meridian Equity Partners, about the reopening, coming up just moments from now.

Corpina said he'd usually take the train in — but today he walked. On his way in, people were getting temperature checks and signing wavers.

"What that new norm is we don’t know yet, but we’re starting to get to our norm here," he said.

Maintaining good credit is always important, but it may be a particular challenge during the economic fallout due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Personal finance journalist Jean Chatzky answered readers’ questions on how to protect their credit:

Q: Why is trying to keep your credit score so important right now?

Q: Some consumers are having their credit limits slashed. Why is that? 

Q: Some creditors and cards are allowing some kind of relief now if you can't pay. If you take advantage of this — not making a payment right now — what will show up on your report?

Memorial Day weekend traffic at airports was up significantly from recent weeks.  

The Transportation Security Administration says it screened about 1.5 million people between Thursday and Monday. That is still about 12.6% of the 12.2 million people it screened over the same period last year.  

But those five days also included three days — Thursday, Friday, and Monday — with more than 300,000 people screened. Thursday was the first time since March 23 that the agency has screened more than 300,000 people. 

The day with the highest volume was Friday. TSA said it screened 348,673 people that day, still just 12.5% of the 2.8 million people it saw that day last year.   

The number of travelers has been climbing in recent weeks as many state and local governments relax stay at home policies.  

The Brooklyn Nets will open their practice facility for voluntary player workouts today, the team announced in a statement. 

Here's what the NBA team said in a statement:

The news comes after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday that professional sports leagues will be able to begin training camps in the state if they’re able to follow “appropriate health protocols.”

A man said he is concerned after getting a haircut at a Missouri hair salon where two stylists potentially exposed 140 clients to coronavirus when they worked for up to eight days while symptomatic. 

Erik Chase said he went for a haircut on May 17, then was notified by the Springfield-Greene Health Department on May 23 about the possible exposure and was ordered to self-quarantine until May 31.

Chase said he has diabetes and other unspecified immune deficiencies. His mom is in the hospital right now, and he cannot see her because he is quarantining at home. He is getting a coronavirus test this afternoon or tomorrow to see if he is positive. 

“Even with my limited interactions with people and practicing social distancing measures, that's a lot of time — especially when you're doing your essential, like everyday life circumstances, if you will, to be out and about, not knowing that you had been exposed,” he said. 

Chase said he does not want people to retaliate against the salon. 

“I’ve heard that there's been some like harassing calls and, you know, death threats to the organization. I definitely don't want any of that to happen. And I guess you can just chalk it up, as I literally had a bad hair day,” he said.

Coronavirus has infected more than 5.5 million people globally. If you're just joining us, here's the latest on the pandemic:

Care homes were dubbed the "ground zero" of the US' coronavirus outbreak and the failure to control the spread at one Seattle facility had "statewide and national effects," according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

There were similar issues throughout the care home sector -- people with chronic conditions living in close proximity; caregivers spreading infection between residents and facilities; and staff shortages due to sickness, isolation and low pay.

A seniors' home in Montreal, Canada showed just how catastrophic such problems can be. A criminal investigation was launched after 31 residents died at Herron Seniors' Residence in less than a month, five of them confirmed Covid-19 cases. Quebec officials said most of the staff had abandoned the home and residents were found unfed and unchanged in what looked like a case of gross negligence.

The investigation is still ongoing. The home declined to comment when approached by CNN in mid-April because of pending investigations and lawsuits.
