I booked my tickets few months ago to visit my family. I ll be boarding flight in next 20 days with a connecting flight in Singapore. Should I cancel my trip?
Cancel if you can. You are risking not just yourself but also your family.
I’d still go, but wear a mask and disinfect surfaces around you on the plane with disinfectant wipes. Wash your clothes and disinfect things you’ve touched (like the outside of your luggage) immediately upon arrival.
I had the same booking. Canceled it.
I'd cancel if traveling with kids.
I am in the same boat. If you follow the precautions and eat healthy clean food, it shouldn’t be a problem
I heard the virus can live upto 90 days dormant on hosts. So no it's not safe at all. And those who are comparing it with flu, it does not have any medicine now. And death rates are high on those with infection. How many people who get flu die
There has already been a report in India now. I think it is better for you to collect masks asap out of India Just like Chinese Did and deliver them back to your families. This virus spread super fast and I heard that the reported case in India actually is not quarantined very well. Terrible stuff is on the way in India.
If you have booked using a travel credit card, you might have trip cancellation reimbursement feature there. Try to call the bank and ask if they would cover this. If this works out, you must cancel. If the above does not with out, I know it is hard to lose $$$$ but it might still be worth it. Ask around and see the severeness.
I am Chinese and I was a junior student when SARS was spreading in China. What I can say is a strong sanitation system is the key to stop such virus but not weather. SARS was spreading during Spring and Summer. Temperature in Summer in China is from 35 to 40. Good luck and prepare enough masks for your families.
Yes
