Coronavirus - Pandemic? Italy?

With the current outbreak spreading across the world and affecting travel maybe things will change for our summer holiday.  At the moment I am letting things lie. Luckily nothing has been paid for and bookings can all be cancelled if need be.  RT20 could be in jeopardy.

No doubt this is a "first world" problem especially as people are falling ill and even dying as a consequence of this new strain of flu/disease. It's just a holiday/vacation. No biggy.

Currently our planned trip to Italy is to nearby one of the hotspots. The province/city of Piacenza is directly in the line of the planned Bologna-Milan-Como route I have planned.

This was sent out to Claire's company from a partner company in Italy.

"Please be informed that following to coronavirus outbreak several towns in the provinces of LODI -CREMONA-PIACENZA-PADOVA (Postal codes 26, 29, 35) have been put on lockdown by the Italian authorities 

Any access to these towns is forbidden until further notice. Access to surrounding towns could be difficult too therefore should you need to operate any collection or delivery service from/to Italy postcodes 26, 29 and 35 we invite you to get in touch with our team to check the feasibility of the service."

At least Spain where we head to in six weeks is currently looking clear. At the moment!!
