In confined spaces which seems to include sports stadia. Three French race meetings are to be held behind closed doors next week.

BA and RyanAir have now cancelled 216 flights.

This should have been the first thing that should have been done.

The French have so far adopted a so-called 'flexible approach', looking at things a bit on a case-by-case way.

Many people travelling from all over the world to a single destination - cancelled (e.g. Paris half-marathon).
As far as I know, this has NOT led to the closures of well-attended museums and galleries in Paris, but the Louvre staff walked out themselves because of safety concerns.

All indoor public meetings in France with more than 5000 people expected are banned.

In areas with significant numbers of cases e.g. Oise, all public gatherings banned, including markets! (defied by one mayor, however). Around 120 schools in the Oise have been shut until further notice, affecting 35,000 pupils.

To date - outdoor events such as football and rugby matches going ahead, as far as I know. 

The 'flexible approach' idea has been criticised in France, but it's tricky to apply a 'one size fits all' solution ATM, since some areas have clusters of cases, whereas others have very few or none. 

There are more cases in France than the UK, but the complacency of Johnson (who could not be bothered to convene a meeting before the weekend) is pretty startling by comparison. Even on Monday, AFTER the so-called crisis meeting, the PM's spokesman answered nearly every question with: "You'll have to wait until tomorrow for the plan"!

I imagine that may well be Treviso's season done as it's one of the regions that is on total lockdown.

From tomorrow Lombardia, Veneto and Emilia Romagna will be lock down.
I suppose also RWC U20 is at risk in Italy and many other games...
The problem of this situation isnt the virus and its illness, but try to manage and control hospitals situations, for the italian sanitary system is a really problematic time and they are working in magnific way..
Europe in this case are not doing well, specially Germany and France, they knew of internal focolars but didnt say anything...

First in first out may well apply in this case. Italy should be clear or nearly so by June.

What if Judgement Day has to be played behind closed doors - should we play it at Parc y Scarlets instead.  No point opening up the Milenium Stadium with all the associated costs; to end up playing in an empty stadium.

According to Politico.eu French Health Minister Oliver Véran has said (not a direct quote I believe) that "authorities will draft a list of events that will be exempt from the ban, including mass transit and various competitions"

https://www.politico.eu/article/france-bans-gatherings-of-1000-people-to-contain-coronavirus/

So not clear yet. But considering France has already postponed a number of  high profile sporting events it is looks like it could well be affected.

I have booked everything for a Trip to Toulon, but will almost certainly cancel. Fortunately, the hotels were booked on a 'free cancellation' basis (the game was the excuse for a week-long trip), but train tickets are non-refundable, unfortunately.

I'll keep an eye on how the disease progresses in France, in the meantime.

Wales vs Scotland is the only 6 nations game going ahead next weekend by the looks of things, with the other 2 games being scheduled for Weekend of 31st October.
Let’s hope we get to play on of the Irish sides that weekend, it would be payback for the all the times that we’ve played them outside of the international window minus our international players and have got stuffed.
However, it’s a league run from Dublin so they will probably make it a free weekend so the Irish teams wouldn’t be disadvantaged.

It wouldn't surprise me. The season usually starts with 6 weekends of Pro14 from the first weekend in September, followed by 2 European weekends. That conveniently leaves a spare week at the end of October before the Autumn Internationals start. But where would Ireland v Italy fit in?
