Tips for Safe Travel:

Now that we’ve helped you plan your itinerary, we want to make sure you stay safe and healthy during your travels. Travelling often involves long trips in closed spaces, where people might be sitting in close proximity to one another, which makes one especially likely to transmit the Coronavirus. Please keep the following tips in mind before you embark on that plane or train:

2. Buy a face shield If possible, a face shield is also a good piece of equipment to invest in, as it could offer even further protection. We know it might feel weird to have a mask on in all of your vacation pictures but always remember: better safe than sorry.

3. Wear gloves. When travelling, there are surfaces that are likely to be touched by many people, like grab rails on buses, or elevator buttons. Viruses can survive on contaminated surfaces, albeit for a limited amount of time. So try to avoid contact with such places altogether, however, wear gloves if you cannot, as they will act as a barrier and protect your hands from the virus.
