Q I am due to travel to Orvieto in central Italy via Perugia tomorrow. I haven’t heard any absolute “do not travel to Italy” advice from the government except for the lockdown areas. Is that still the current situation?

A Flights are still continuing (albeit at a reduced level) from many UK airports to Italy, and the government has stopped well short of advising against travel to the European country worst affected by the coronavirus crisis.
