Travelling during the pandemic

According to recent reports, the spread of Covid19 has reached almost every edge of the planet. It is impossible to find a place that has not yet come into contact with the virus. What happens if the lockdown is lifted but the possibility of vaccination is still not available? Will we stop travelling then? How can we travel safely during an active pandemic? Imagine you have to travel, near or far.

Here are 10 top tips for travelling during the pandemic and things to think about after your trip.

1. Make sure you wear your face mask throughout your flight to protect yourself from airborne particles.
2. Keep as much distance as possible, both at the airport and during the flight.
3. Use a carry-on bag to avoid it being touched by others.
4. Use disinfectant wipes on your seat, seat belt, window and table before you sit down.
5. Use hand sanitizer if you come into contact with various surfaces during the flight.
6. Try to avoid going to the toilet during the flight. If you have a long-haul flight and it cannot be avoided, remember to wash your hands thoroughly
7. Stay hydrated. This will help your mucous membranes to function properly.
8. Take preventative vitamins to boost your immune system – vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals have been shown to support your immune response.
9. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for at least 20 seconds after flying.
