I'd love to be wrong, as I have a trip booked for June with accommodation booked at 13 months out and flights at 355 days to secure it.

(I do feel like an impatient millennial saying no news only 5 working hours after the ban was announced....)
I am in the same boat. 3 months is a long time - who knows what will happen. Have you travel insurance to cover hotels/excursions?
TBH, if only for managing my own expectations, but I'm expecting not to be able to go on any of my planned travel until Autumn
