Unhappy Taiwan said to be included in the Italian ban on flights from China

This is not BR-specific, but Taiwanese netizens have found out NOTAM issued by the Italian authorities includes not only HKG and MFM but also Taiwan on their latest ban on air services from China.
The news has spread on multiple Chinese-language forums in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and local media has reported it.
CI and CX seem to have pulled off their direct flight inventories. BR hasn't done so on their MXP service to be inaugurated in mid-February.
CI and BR told Taiwanese media that they are still verifying with authority.

This could have a big impact given the 2/28 holiday in Taiwan is approaching. Might have some impact on the local tourism industry in Italy given they already lost the Chinese visitors for the time being.
