Things to keep in mind while travelling post COVID-19

The way we travel would be drastically different post-COVID-19. Here is how you can travel responsibly, sustainably and with caution.

1. Opt for travel insurance – Healthcare must be the primary thing that you must guard while travelling after the Coronavirus season. Opting for an overseas travel insurance is the best option in ensuring that you will be covered for medical emergencies.

2. Carry hand-sanitizers, masks and hand wash products – Always have a handy hand-sanitizer and hand-wash products everywhere you go. Wearing a mask would also be a good precaution at least until we are completely sure it’s safe otherwise.

3. Always carry around a bottle of water and nasal sprays – Keep yourself hydrated. It will also be good to carry a nasal spray with you so that your mucous membranes do not dry out. If mucous membranes dry, it makes your nose and mouth, less effective in blocking out viruses.

4. Choose safe accommodation options – Do thorough research on the accommodation facilities you would be opting for. Make sure they have good cleanliness record. Choose well-known hotels and brands to be on the safe side.

5. Have a health certificate in handy – Most countries and states would be sceptical about foreign travellers out of the fear of spreading viruses. It is best to have an authorised health certificate with you, which you can provide if prompted for. This could even become the norm after the COVID season.
