I think this is a reasonable gesture given the future uncertainty - maybe it will be extended should the situation extend beyond that?  I hope other airlines can also start thinking about their PR perspective. Just what should airlines do?! I have heard people could lose all their fare fees due to cancellations and /or advisory travel conditions - travel insured or not.
