Probably better asking upstairs on the Travel board but if you are both fit and well and your boyfriend is not pregnant then just go for it as the virus will be everywhere by then anyway.

Where are you going? 

I assume Asia? 

Lots of countries in the region are placing restrictions on the movement of people from one place to another.

It wont be long before it's not safe to go anywhere.

Why not hop over to the Travel board, where you will find this subject done to death already..?

First British person, a Man, has died.

He had been couped up on that Japanese Cruise Liner.

At the moment they say the young, the elderly and those with outstanding health conditions are the most at risk of dying from it. We can all catch it.

Travelling back might be tricky in 6 months time as most airlines will not survive this.

Up to 650,000 die every year from influenza.  Chin up and carry on.

Imagine how many would die if people had only started coming into contact with the  influenza virus 2 month ago and no people on the planet could act as firewalls to the spread?

We were going to visit our daughter in Khazakhstan in June, but as they have put a 2 week quarantine on visitors who come from countries with the bug we would be returning home the day after they let us out. I expect, if she comes here over the summer holiday , that she would have to go back 2 weeks early so she could start the school term on time.
