Past two years have been a rollercoaster ride for everyone, with the beginning of COVID-19 the whole world experienced a year of living at home. It was both a good and a bad experience. There was the fun or satisfaction of being able to spend time with family, at the same time there also was the fear of losing a close one. Lots of tears were shed and lots of smiles were spread, things started getting better. Everything is getting back to normal slowly and steadily and somethings for sure are going to be with us for the rest of our lives, which made us realize their importance and made us realize how they should’ve been a part of our lives from the beginning like masks and sanitizers.
Amidst all this, travelling became very difficult which is a nightmare for an ardent traveler. More precautions are to be taken while traveling in order to be safe. In this blog we’ll be talking about some of such precautions which are necessary and for sure will make your experience a lot safer.
When we talk about traveling during the pandemic then the first thing which we should consider is the data of spread of COVID in our area or the place where you are planning to travel.
The number of cases should obviously be very less in your destination otherwise it’s not a good option to travel that place at this time. Check thoroughly that the place where you’re staying has good precautions and sanitization is done regularly.
What’s better than getting vaccinated? Not only it is mandatory for you to show your vaccination certificate to travel anywhere but it is also a step towards a safe trip. So don’t take it as a burden but a responsibility.
Not all vaccines are approved by WHO, so when it comes to traveling abroad it is important to make sure that the vaccine which we choose is approved by WHO so we don’t face any problem ahead.
According to www.who.int, see “WHO’s landscape of COVID-19 vaccine candidates” for the latest information on vaccines in clinical and pre-clinical development, generally updated twice a week. “WHO’s COVID-19 dashboard”, updated daily, also features the number of vaccine doses administrated globally, with more details provided on the “dedicated COVID-19 vaccination dashboard”.
Being vaccinated does not mean that we ignore the precautions and put ourselves and others at risk. There’s no guarantee that you will not be affected by the virus after getting vaccinated, which makes it important to take complete precautions while traveling.
If you are traveling somewhere nearby then it’s best to drive yourself. Not only it’s one of the best ways for traveling but also the safest mode during these times. Traveling in your own car would give you the perk of not worrying about sanitizing your hands time to time or wearing a mask even inside your own car. But in case you’re traveling somewhere far you can’t go by your car, in that case railways is another option. It might not be the safest but keeping in mind that airways might not be budget friendly for many, it’s a good option.
The government has taken measures of precautions in public transport but we also have to take care of certain things like maintaining social distancing, sanitizing your hands regularly, not removing your mask. These are the basic things that need to be taken care of. Sanitizing your luggage is also needed after reaching your destination as the infection is transmitted by contact. Similarly, while traveling in airways, you have to take proper measures for a safe journey.
