Does anyone know how far from the Northern Italy Corona outbreaks was the school ski trip ?

Hi Nick, Thanks for that. I'd already seen this but it didn't answer my question on proximity.I was hoping the school itself would have put statement on the front page of it's web site, but nothing , so far.Mark

Meanwhile, over in Battersea:-"Prince George and Princess Charlotte's school becomes the latest to send pupils home for coronavirus isolation"https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8047195/Is-Britain-heading-coronavirus-lockdown-amid-confusion-dangers-Europe.html

IMHO All schools should as a priority; have something prominent on their websites explaining their standing and policy on the Corona.Many parents are ill informed and gossiping about risks (mostly relating to who has recently come back from North Italy). Mark
Madesimo which is very popular with school ski groups is just over 200 miles from Cordogno, the town which was one of the first to be put into isolation last weekend. This is roughly the same distance as from Putney to Manchester. This hysteria is going to get a lot worse in the coming weeks. I do feel sorry for the lady in BBC Breakfast this morning whose BA flight from Tenerife was delayed due to the sandstorm and they were overnighted in the Costa Adeje hotel. They stayed there just 6 hours, came down to go to the airport to be told they would be there for the next 2 weeks! The authorities have obviously learned nothing from the Diamond Princess fiasco. There was ONE case at the Costa Adeje - I predict that in the next two weeks that number will grow to several hundred.
