leaving for Florence on March 1st

Hi Friends,
I am supposed to go to Florence on March 1st. Taking a flight to Zurich then from Zurich to Florence. My concern is getting back the States. so much can happen between the three countries. I don't want to be stuck anywhere not being able to get home. Any thoughts on the matter. I am grateful. We are just discussing it. I was going to a trade show as well in Milan. That has been canceled. And the festival in Venice is canceled as well. Such a fluid situation. I probably will not go. I have to find out also if Switzerland is still flying to Italy. Does anybody know about that. Thanks for your time. Just needed to express myself with fellow travelers.

At the moment flights are not canceled and Tuscany so far has not been affected by the virus, in spite of having the largest concentration of Chinese immigrants in the city of Prato. Most disruptions are on the train system. It seems like if anybody sneezes on a train, the train is stopped and checked by authorities. It’s like the movie Crassa da Crossing.
There are major delays in train travel right now, but air travel is not affected.
