Default Time to carry extra fuel for tower issues

All,
Both MDW and LAS towers have closed recently due to an air traffic controller at each location contracting coronavirus.
I will be carrying some extra holding fuel on every flight for a while to ensure that I don't have to immediately divert should the destination tower be closed. I recommend all crews do the same.
Call it coronavirus reserve fuel.

Fly safe.
