Many countries are currently on lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The global pandemic has forced
governments to impose travel bans both locally and internationally. Flights are canceled, and airports operate with a
skeleton workforce. Unnecessary travels and highly discouraged to prevent the spread of the virus. Jessica Leonard.
While the rest of the world stays at home, there are still some who need to travel for work, such as healthcare
professionals and essential workers. Before traveling, a person must discuss travel with their physician. Individuals
with chronic illnesses are advised to stay home as they have a higher risk of contracting the virus. Preparation is
crucial. Before heading to a location, be familiar with the local government’s protocol for COVID-19. Essential workers
may need to secure a travel permit from their office to avoid entry issues. Jessica Leonard.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Preventions recommends travelers to wash their hands often, for at least 20
seconds and to avoid touching their face to prevent the virus from entering one’s system. Avoid getting close to
anyone who is ill. Some may be more susceptible to the virus than others. Jessica Leonard.
Practice social distancing. If travel is an essential element of one’s work, maintaining a 1.5-meter gap between another
person is their best effort to stay safe from COVID-19, along with frequent washing of hands. Experts have different
sentiments when it comes to the need to wear face masks. However, many recommend wearing one—especially when
going out—to prevent touching one’s eyes, nose, and mouth. Jessica Leonard.
