Simon Calder coronavirus AMA: The Independent's travel correspondent answers your questions

The coronavirus pandemic has triggered changes across the world that we couldn't have imagined even a week ago.

More countries around the world have introduced travel bans in recent weeks and closed their borders, while tens of thousands of flights have already been cancelled.

To that end, The Independent's travel correspondent Simon Calder has answered some of your Covid-19 concerns.
