RE: Travel Republic - Flights only

I have flights only booked with Travel Republic, Going to on 5th with RyanAir - Returning on 12th With Easyjet. I booked all 10 members of the same family. Father /mother inlaw, 2 sister in laws/husbands and 2 grown adult children, my wifen and i also. I do not believe they are cancelled yet as they are on Ryanair and easyjet websites still. My issue is as they were all on my Credit card can I claim in anyway if cancelled. If not cancelled, can i claim on card due to the fact 3 of us are at high risk with Covid 19 with advice not to travel by the government with supporting letters. so complicated. I have travel insurance for myself so can probably get mine and my wifes flight cost back, But what about the others? CRAZY SITUATION, thank god i booked hotel directly with free cancellation. 
As with many others i have messaged them using their system and no response, phone like turned off with message stating that.

    You can only claim S75 or chargeback from your card provider if the product or services are not provided or not fit for purpose. This is not the case with your flights at present: personal reasons for not traveling are irrelevant.

    You probably have to wait until the flights are actually cancelled, if that occurs. But as you made the mistake of booking Ryanair and easyJet flights through a third party instead of direct you will not be able to deal directly with the airlines and have to rely on Travel Republic for any refund/voucher upon cancellation.
