Corona watch list

[Ellie Webbs]

If anyone has any official info on UK - USA restrictions or quarantine guidelines please post here if there is nowhere else. Im sure I'm not the only one thinking my trip is in jeopardy.
April trip for me.

Ive got a WDW trip booked for November, but I'm also going to the USA on a separate holiday at end of May, so this is a bit of a nailbiting time for me too!

I'm going to the USA in 26 days and the only way I'm not going is if Virgin cancel my flight. its just flu!

This is the link for the current advice, so far the US has a low number of cases https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...ing-travellers-or-visitors-arriving-in-the-uk

So as of this evening the USA has suspended flights from mainland Europe. How long until the UK?

Less than 10 days if the current rise in UK infections continues at the same level is my bet.

President Trump just announced to America that all travel to Europe would be suspended starting Friday at midnight, lasting thirty days.

I think it was all travel FROM Europe, (except for the U.K), TO the U.S, starting Friday at midnight, lasting thirty days.

My 6 week dream trip with all FP and dining isnt looking good.
If you need me I will be watching dis / tim tracker / all ears in a darkened room wearing my newly bought small world ears maybe muttering 'there's a great big beautiful tomorrow'

Yes you are right. From europe to usa. It depends how long it takes for the UK to be included...

This is actually not good news for UK families with trips planned to Disney. In the rest of Europe they can probably now reclaim against their travel insurance, but Brits with travel plans can't cancel and then claim so may be forced economically to continue with their vacation even though they may find that the parks could be closed by the time the trip takes place, or that infection is more widespread in Florida (where they haven't been tracking/testing for infection rates) than in the UK.

Actually the travel ban is not as extensive as he made it sound. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a statement about it. Just an FYI. https://www.dhs.gov/news/2020/03/11...-f-wolf-s-statement-presidential-proclamation

I don't want to cancel, I am doing all the regular things (hand washing, anti bac etc like a normal person does) but I just want to get to Disney providing I am well. If the parks are cancelled we do have insurance and hopefully that will come through.
My mother has had a transplant though and is on immunosuppressants so we need to consider any danger to her but tbh apart from the chronic loo roll shortage she isn't panicking.

Prior to your trip you need to check with your mother's travel insurance company that they are still willing to cover the travel and haven't issued additional advisory notices based on changing conditions.

I completely agree, we have separate insurance policies so will be looking into this.
With a bottle of wine maybe?

I cannot remember a situation where a country has banned all travel to it from foreign visitors. Definitely time to check your travel insurance to see if this unusual situation is covered. If in doubt, I would give them a call.

I would hate to be working at a travel insurance call centre this morning. I have worldwide family annual travel insurance. It is due for renewal in a few days and the premium has jumped by £80. I was going to change insurers, but with everything going on, I have decided to swallow the increase and just let it roll over with automatic renewal. I don’t want to give them any wriggle room.

This has appeared on LVs travel insurance site...:
In light of the impact that Coronavirus (COVID-19) is having globally, we’ve made the difficult decision to pause the sale of travel insurance to new customers.
