NOTE: If you find yourself experiencing any symptoms associated with the virus, avoid crowded areas, notify the relevant authorities, and make your way to a hospital. Itās best to be cautious and remember that thereās more at stake than only enjoying a holiday.
Travel Essentials for the New Normal
Whether your travel during Covid-19 is domestic or international, it pays to be prepared. Here are some must-haves for your packing list:
1. Travel Insurance
Ensure that you are protected against the unexpected such as weather emergencies, medical situations, and even, cancelled flights. If youāre planning an expensive trip, consider purchasing a travel insurance policy at least 15 days before your travel date. The longer you wait to purchase a policy, the more limited your options so try to start looking for one early on.
2. Face Masks
From daily disposable masks and N-95 masks to reusable cloth masks and sturdy face shields, masks have become an essential item in our lives. Airports, planes, and most tourist attractions now require that you wear one before entering the premises so be sure to carry enough masks for your entire trip.
3. Hand Sanitiser
Itās always smart to carry hand sanitiser. Germs linger on surfaces such as railings, tables, and more, so avoid touching your face after placing your hand on such surfaces. Make sure that your sanitiser has at least a 70% alcohol content for it to be effective against viruses and bacteria. In addition to that, carry antibacterial wipes to wipe down sitting areas and shared equipment.
