As you should be- but typically the quarantines have been announced ahead of time, so you could drive away

I'll be in Tuscany for two weeks starting at the end of April. Watching the news, but unless a major quarantine happens we plan on still going.

You doing Florence or Sienna or the little towns thing? Both are fantastic.

I fly for work every week. I take anywhere between 4-10 flights. I figure I may be patient 0 in ascension parish based on that alone. Still flying and not cancelling as of now.

I’m on my way home a week in Rome/Tuscany. No restrictions at FCO but all the workers are wearing masks. Just landed at Heathrow and no signs of anything. Also haven’t heard anything about entering US, so I think we are good to go.

Supposed to fly to France tomorrow. Headed to Bayeux, Strasbourg, Lyon and Paris. Looks like the EU parliamentary session was scheduled to be held in Strasbourg next week. They’ve moved it to Brussels bc of COVID. Looks like things are getting real and I’m not sure if I should reschedule or not?

The largest outbreaks in France are not in Paris, but in Ouise and near the Swiss Alps. Things are definitely on the increase in France. I am there in a few weeks and worried. If I was going tomorrow I would likely be freaking the frick out.

But I'd probably still go. Its a hard call though.

Pretty worried. Not necessarily about getting sick but about getting stuck there and going all the way there and everything being closed

A buddy just cancelled his European vacation, he was going to London and Paris, because of the cornovirus. He said Delta won't refund his tickets but the gave him a voucher of equal value and upgraded him.

I work for a hospital system and they're enforcing a 2 week self-quarantine period prior to returning to work, using personal paid-time. Puts a big wrench in our decision-making

Looking at live Rome webcams. Compared to a few months ago the place is almost deserted.
8 pm Rome time
Would be a great time to go.

Arrrived in Cancun yesterday and the resort is a ghost town. Lots of cancellations according to the staff. Our flight here was completely full, but the plane type changed since booking. Are carriers consolidating flights now?

United and Delta are waving fees to affected countries.

I had a layover in DFW go from 2 to 8 hours for a flight in May. Because of the change I got a full refund.
