Coronavirus Update


BASI has been monitoring the situation regarding the Coronavirus since the outbreak and as a result, we decided to cancel the courses in China that were planned for February. You are all no doubt aware of the situation has developed since then and the problems Northern Italy is currently facing.
 
BASI wishes to reassure its membership that we are monitoring the situation and the possible impact on our planned courses. We will be basing our decisions on official guidance from the World Health Organisation and the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, but we are also taking the local view into account such as this recent statement from the Aosta Valley and this statement from Interski. 
 
Through March we have courses confirmed in Switzerland, Italy, Austria, France and Andorra and, at present, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office have not issued a warning against traveling to any of the destinations we plan to run our courses from.
 
However, this is a highly dynamic situation and we continue to monitor what is going on. Should the guidance we receive change, so too will our response. If we are required to cancel any of our courses, then we will do our utmost to limit the financial impact on our membership. We take your safety very seriously and will act swiftly if the situation changes.
