This presumes that OP made the booking before the pandemic reached Europe. At that point, the circumstances are hardly "unavoidable and extraordinary." Indeed they are easily avoided by not booking until the virus is under control and far from extraordinary as the virus affects pretty much all localities to some degree or another.
