Travel During COVID Times

Travel during COVID times can be done, however, you must be very aware of your surroundings to stay COVID safe. If you must travel during COVID times, please review this post for tips to stay safe! Before you travel As you think about making travel plans, consider these questions:

• Is COVID-19 spreading at your destination?
• Are you at increased risk for severe illness?
• Do you live with someone who's at increased risk for severe illness?

Be Careful The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends following these steps to protect yourself and others when you travel:

1. Maintain a distance of 6 feet (2 meters) between you and others as much as possible.
2. Avoid contact with anyone who is sick
3. Limit contact with frequently touched surfaces, such as handrails, elevator buttons and kiosks. If you must touch these surfaces, use hand sanitizer or wash your hands afterward.
4. Wear a cloth face mask.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Cover coughs and sneezes.
7. Clean your hands often. It's especially important after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.
8. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
9. If soap and water aren't available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub your hands together until they feel dry

Make Sure You’re Traveling to a Safe State Be Smart Take a trip that is direct and door-to-door if possible; avoid a lot of different means of transportation or transfers. For example, traveling by car during COVID-19 will likely be the safest, so look for destinations within driving distance. Get on a plane only if you need to visit family or if it’s an emergency. If you must fly, keep in mind that a nonstop flight is safer than one with layovers, because of fewer chances of being exposed to the virus. Another advantage of taking a car is that after you reach your destination you can use it on local excursions. Regardless, choose local activities that do not require public transportation, and opt for walks and bike rides. Be Cautious

• Choose an off-peak time to travel. Don’t leave on a Friday, when public rest stops will be more crowded.
• Bring your own drinks and snacks to avoid standing in line.
• Wear a mask when you are close to others.
• Keep wipes and hand sanitizers on you at all times.
