| Mar 10, 2020 at 10:15 | comment | added | xuq01 | This is a bit outdated now. As of March 11, the entirety of Italy is under lockdown. All public gatherings have been halted and transportation closed. The authorities are yet to update their advice, but it would be safe to say that all travel to Italy should be avoided at this point; and, if you are in Italy, find a plan to leave. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 22:58 | comment | added | David Mulder | Might make sense to not just include the US advice, but include a couple more, e.g. the UK only recommends against travel to specific areas: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5e566fead3bf7f0700fef983/… | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 11:37 | comment | added | mattdm | @WeatherVane The answer has been edited since I made my comment. The official advice has changed from Level 2, which is as I said, to Level 3, which is as you are saying now. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 10:16 | comment | added | Weather Vane | @mattdm the advice isn't about individual vulnerability, but spreading the virus. It is aimed at everybody, not those particularly at risk. It says avoid all nonessential travel to Italy. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 2:55 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | Of course, given that Italy only shows up on the global radar because they're doing a lot of testing, it is highly likely that all Western countries have similar infection rates - they just don't enough patients to know. | |

| Feb 29, 2020 at 1:38 | comment | added | JoL | Link now reads that Italy is "Level 3". This answer should probably be updated as well. | |
| Feb 28, 2020 at 23:13 | comment | added | jcm | One thing to also consider is whether OP has any older adults in their family/social/work circles. | |
| Feb 28, 2020 at 15:15 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | @mattdm: Fair enough. Edited to more closely reflect the CDC's phraseology. | |

| Feb 28, 2020 at 13:52 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @mattdm That is true (about the severity), but the answer sidesteps about getting infected (and thus possibly spreading). This is a reason why many European countries are considering cancelling major events greater than 1000 peaple. They want to prevent the spreading. This (accepted) answer does not take that aspect into consideration. | |
| Feb 28, 2020 at 13:36 | comment | added | mattdm | The advice isn't to postpone travel if you're "especially vulnerable to infection". It is to do so if you are likely to be especially vulnerable to severe Covid-19. From what we know so far, the disease is more likely to severe (and more likely to be fatal) in older adults. | |
