The novel Coronavirus & travel planning
Hello All:
I'd appreciate some advice and thoughts from the regulars here:
I was planning to travel to Sicily in mid-February, to to pick up my motorcycle that is in storage there, then take the ferry Palermo to Tunis and spend three weeks touring in Tunisia. I'm very familiar with North Africa, I spend a month in Morocco last year, and spent two years living and working in both Algeria and Libya during the 1990s.
I'm getting a little worried about possible problems that this coronavirus could create with international & intercontinental travel if there is any amount of spread of the virus in Europe or (God forbid) Africa.
I'm not particularly worried about getting the virus - that's not my concern. My concern is that if there is any spread of the virus in Europe or Africa, very large scale quarantines (travel restrictions, border closures) could be imposed. Hence I have put things on hold for the moment.
I would sure like to begin this trip around the first of March - but, what do you think the outlook is for this kind of travel with the current state of affairs pertaining to this virus?
All responses gratefully acknowledged.
Michael
