Is Sicily safe? In the past we were asked this question because of the Mafia, today it is because of the new "Coronavirus".

Our answers:

• Sicily is an island, approximately a thousand kilometres away from the epicentres of the infection in the North of Italy.
• Sicily is not a typical vacation spot for people who travel from the most affected parts of the world.
• In spring Sicily is lucky enough to have ample supplies of two "remedies" on which virologists are currently relying: heat and UV.

Otherwise we can refer you to factual information in eveyday terms, direct from the experts:

• UV radiation for sterilization and disinfection.
• WHO - Q&A on coronaviruses (COVID-19)
