So they should take extra care to protect themselves.
Here are some tips for you to stay safe while traveling during this pandemic time.
Stay informed
The first places travelers should check before planning for travel are the official websites of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). These are the most trustworthy sources to get advice on the coronavirus. You can receive the most updated and reliable information about the threat and risk of the outbreak. You may also get useful advice to protect you from this virus during traveling.
Be prepared for any sudden change
The situation is frequently changing. So always keep track of your flight schedule. Many airlines and hotels are allowing customers more flexibility to change plans that they usually do. But some airlines are not refunding travelers for canceled flights. You must keep your eyes on the updated headlines in this global pandemic situation.
Avoid nonrefundable bookings
You can protect yourself financially by avoiding non-refundable bookings. If it is not possible then try to make sure that any such bookings are with suppliers that have agreed to waive change penalties. At this time, don’t make your booking through agencies, rather try to book directly.
Take enough medications with you
You need to be prepared for any unexpected or extended time away from your home. So you should carry enough medications and other necessary items with you for urgency. You also can arrange someone who can be able to send you what you need if you’re delayed for any critical situation.
