We are going to Sevilla, but her main concern was the risk of exposure getting there in transit.

Europe and a possible 1st community spread in Northern California, my SO is suggesting we cancel/reschedule our trip.

Her main concern is exposure on planes and airport transit, rather than actually being in Spain. I personally don’t think it is necessary to change our trip at the moment, but also don’t want to be underestimating it.

I am not sure if we would be able to get most of our accommodations refunded, but ultimately don’t mind if it means avoiding a serious health risk.

What do my fishbowl peeps think (specially those who travel often) in the issue?

Southern Spain is fine. Which bit you going to?

Sevilla is fabulous. As mentioned...sanitizer and sanitizer wipes ... just be conscious of hygiene. All will be well.

Yes do t drink the alcohol gel. And if you like wine look out for Verdejo grapes from Rueda

If a 14 day quarantine gets enacted upon your return do we put those hours as sick days in mercury or medical leave?

I’m going to Spain and Portugal in a month.... I’m nervous about getting quarantined or something!

Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
