Advice on travelling during these xenophobic times
 
I am a Filipino of Chinese descent. I look like I am from China.

There had been news of racism and xonophobia by non-Asian countries against Chinese or Chinese looking people. I will be going on a tour
of Switzerland in April-May. If there will be no further travel bans prohibiting me from flying to Switzerland, should I still go on with my trip, or should I consider postponing it to a later date until the COVID issue is ressolved?

I would postpone for the sake of my own health. No other reason.

Is your whole group chinese looking? maybe ask the embassy or tour group?

Sorry, did not mention that it's going to be only me and the wife on this trip.

Unless some of your reservations are about to become nonrefundable, you probably should postpone the decision until much closer to departure.

I’m actually more concerned of the xenophobia than of the virus
