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

At present, 179,112 people around the world have been diagnosed with the virus according to the World Health Organisation's latest report, dated 17 March. And tragically, 7,426 people have died to date.

This week, more countries around the world have introduced travel bans and closed their borders, while tens of thousands of flights have already been cancelled.

With so much change happening in a short space of time, we're seeing holidaymakers being left to fend for themselves as they join the scramble to get home, paying hundreds more just for a ticket on a last-minute flight.

And those with travels booked for Easter, the summer and beyond are now unsure what to do next.

To that end, The Independent's travel correspondent Simon Calder will be on hand to answer your Covid-19 travel concerns live.

Simon's live Q&A session will take place on this page between 12pm and 2pm GMT, on Thursday 19 March.

He will cover everything from whether you can get a refund on an upcoming trip to whether you should pay for the rest of the holiday that you've already put a deposit down for.
