The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of our lives. We had to learn how to quarantine and stay in self-isolation while getting more used to masks and disinfectants. After a long period of immobility, things are getting more normal as lockdowns are being lifted and people are starting to travel. However, you still need to keep in mind various things while traveling in the post-Covid world.
1. Maintain social distancing
Of course, we had to put this here. The lockdowns and quarantines have already trained us on social distancing and self-isolation. While you may be free to travel, the threat of the virus still remains. Try to maintain at least a distance of 6 feet from other people while you are traveling. If it is difficult, just assume that everyone except you has the virus, and that will keep you vigilant.
2. Have a travel insurance
While you need to have travel insurance at all times, it has become quintessential in the post-Covid world. Make sure that the insurance company covers situations such as medical coverages and cancellation of bookings. That way, if a lockdown or another emergency occurs, you do not have to lose deposits for hotel bookings and tickets.
3. Buy sealed water bottles
Drinking water from sealed bottles prevents any infection that might be caused by drinking impure water. Often, airlines provide water from their water tanks which are not always necessarily clean. Likewise, wherever you travel, you cannot guarantee the pureness of water available in restaurants and public fountains. You can also invest in a water-purifying device if you prefer not to buy and carry mineral water bottles.
4. Always carry sanitizers and wet wipes
The pandemic has already accustomed us to use sanitizers on our hands. While you are traveling, carry sanitizers and disinfectant wipes wherever you go, as the threat of the virus still remains. Even when we have entirely defeated the virus, there is always the possibility of another outbreak. While boarding a vehicle or a plane, use the disinfectant to do a quick wipe of the surfaces. You do not have to worry about what others might think as it is the most sensible thing to do in the post-Covid world.
