Big cities, lots of people. Stay protected and healthy.
(updated August 8, 2024)
Even though Covid-19 is officially over, as of May 11, 2023, it is still a concern and
important to stay as healthy as you can during a vacation or travel time.
A strong immune system acts as a crucial defense against potential infections,
including those associated with travel, by being in crowded spaces.
Staying healthy contributes to a smoother journey by reducing the likelihood of disruptions
due to an illness, ensuring that travel time is spent making memories rather than seeking medical assistance.
By prioritizing health during travel, individuals not only safeguard their well-being but also enhance
the overall quality of their trip, creating a foundation for wonderful experiences.
Crowded towns or cities are places to be extra careful. Practice good hand washing while traveling and eat healthy so your immune system stays at its best.
Stay Informed: Stay updated on the latest COVID-19 information for your destination. Check travel advisories, local regulations, and health guidelines regularly.
Vaccination: Ensure you are fully vaccinated before your trip. Keep a record of your vaccination card and consider getting booster shots if recommended.
Wear Masks: Wear a mask, especially in crowded or enclosed spaces. Use masks that cover your nose and mouth, and follow local mask-wearing guidelines.
Hand Hygiene: Practice regular hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Social Distancing: Maintain physical distance from others, especially in crowded places. Follow local guidelines on social distancing to reduce the risk of exposure.
Avoid Touching Your Face: Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth, as this can transfer the virus from contaminated surfaces to your mucous membranes.
Pack Essentials: Bring enough masks, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) for your trip.
Choose Accommodations Wisely: Opt for accommodations that prioritize cleanliness and follow health and safety protocols. Consider using contactless check-in and check-out options.
Limit Exposure: Minimize time spent in crowded places and avoid close contact with people who are sick. Choose outdoor activities when possible.
Monitor Your Health: Stay vigilant for symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. If you experience symptoms, seek medical attention and follow local health guidelines.
With proper safety measures in place, everyone can stay healthy and have a wonderful trip!
