Is it safe to travel to Germany?

The Foreign Office has not issued any travel restrictions on visiting Germany at present.

The FCO website reads: “There is an ongoing outbreak of coronavirus.

“The virus originated in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, but cases have been confirmed in other parts of China and in some other countries, including Germany.

“You should comply with any additional screening measures put in place by the authorities.”

British Airways have cancelled some flights from the UK to Italy, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, France, Switzerland and Germany.

BA said the timetable changes will mean many flights will be “merged between 16 March and 28 March”.

A spokesperson for BA told Sky News: “We will be contacting customers on cancelled flights so we can discuss their travel options, including re-booking on to other carriers where possible, full refunds or booking with BA for a later date of travel.

“Customers can also find the latest information and options on BA.com.”
