The most important thing when it comes to travel is staying safe and healthy. Here are tips to do just that.
Tips for Staying Healthy & Following Travel Restrictions during COVID-19
Currently, the CDC recommends that you are fully vaccinated before you travel, especially internationally. If you are not fully vaccinated, here are the CDC recommendations (though these are good to keep in mind even if you are vaccinated):
1 Take the required COVID tests
Depending on where you’re traveling to or from, you may need to take a COVID test prior to departure or upon your return. Make sure you follow these guidelines so that you don’t experience any travel delays or complications.
2 Wear a mask
While traveling on planes, buses, trains, or other forms of public transportation, be sure to wear a mask that covers both your nose and mouth. It’s also often either recommended or required when you’re in an enclosed space.
3 Self-monitor and if necessary, self-isolate.
During and after your travels, be sure to self-monitor yourself for any symptoms. If you suspect you’re developing symptoms, be sure to self-isolate.
4 Wash your hands often
Keep your hands clean and away from your face. Wash your hands often and/or use hand sanitizer. The CDC recommendation is to use sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
5 Avoid crowds
When traveling, and as a general rule of thumb, avoid crowds and aim to stay 6 feet/2 meters away from anyone who is not a part of your group or traveling party.
6 Learn the words you need to discuss health and safety measures in the language spoken in your travel destination
Given the constant changes and regulations being put into place, you may want to consider getting travel insurance. That way, if you have to make a last-minute cancellation or change your itinerary, you can do so without losing money on flights, cruises, train tickets, or pre-paid lodgings.
