Chiang Mai. A lot can change in a month though, we could be peaking and be in full lockdown Italian style by then.

If this is true its very concerning, because they still seem to be operating a visa on arrival scheme for UK passport holders.
So are there reports of people applying online and getting refused?
I am supposed to be travelling there for work in 10 days.
On another note I am still holding fire with my US vacation in around 5 weeks time. Sure things can change rapidly by then, but at the moment.......no change.
I am however considering cancelling our cruise in April, Royal Caribbean are claiming they have comprehensive measures in place but recent news seems to indicate that its a one way ticket to getting the virus if you go on one.
Or failing that having quarantine at sea because someone else got it.
Living in India, things seem to be moving pretty slowly here, there are a number of cases in South India, Delhi and Pune but not anywhere near the numbers we are seeing elsewhere. I would like to believe that this information is true, however realistically speaking the low reporting numbers are probably more related to a poor infrastructure than any indication of reality.

Not gonna book anything till all this blows over. Also considering some Christmas sun instead of summer. Annoying as also wanted a few days in ibiza in June, without the kids.

?
I'd love to get stuck in Lindvallen!
Oh and:-
It doesn't really affect kids so it's not a great danger to them, and we have too many old people - might end up being some cheap cruise deals next year
So why are they shutting schools, you do realise young people suffer with underlying medical conditions as well and could be at risk.

I booked 3 trips in April - 8th-12th in Ireland to visit family, 18th-22nd in Majorca and then 26th-2nd to Vegas. Hoping I still get to go on them all.

June is a long way away if things are still really bad in three months time then the death toll in Europe (including the UK) will be astronomic.

I'm off to Seville in May for 4 nights, Copenhagen in the Summer at some point and Italy in September. Fingers crossed that Corona virus hasn't ruined all the fun at that point.
Yeah one would assume Italy will be well past their peak bad times, less so for us perhaps but still months away.
Keen to know why the friend of the friend cancelled theirs seeing as it was in the same month (my friend's wedding is still on and they aren't making any decisions until at least the deadline in early April for flying to Italy).

Guess it depends on how much cash you have committed if it's just a few deposits and cancelling early means you only loose those I can see the temptation or maybe they had insurance that agreed to payout so they decided to dodge the risk.
Would the atol cover this though if it's a package holiday

Booked trip to Vilnius Lithuania a few weeks ago for the end of next month seems they only have one case will be escaping the virus in that case.
