COVID19 "No change fees for new bookings" apply to partner airlines too?
I have an international flight booked today (4/30). It said,
"For tickets issued between April 1, 2020, and May 31, 2020, customers will be permitted to change free of charge to a flight of equal or lesser value for travel up to 12 months from the original ticket issue date." and
"If the customer decides to cancel the flight they booked between April 1, 2020, and May 31, 2020, they can retain the value of the ticket to be applied to a new ticket without fee for travel up to 12 months from the original ticket issue date."
However, my trip involves flights operated by United, Cathay Pacific and ANA. Do the rules still apply?

Yes. I booked the trip directly at united.com. The rule also said "Fare Validity: This applies to all tickets, all fare types, all destinations, all points-of-sale, all travel dates available for sale, provided ticket number starts with 016.". My tickets start with 016. I guess the rules applied.
