U.S. Carriers have also suspended service to Hong Kong, China, Japan and South Korea, as well as other cities in Asia.
United has suspended many flights to Asia, however they have not yet cut any flights since the travel alert level was raised.

The affected routes are Delta and American's flights between New York(JFK) and Milan(MXP), as well as an American flight between Miami(MIA) and Milan(MXP).
