When should you travel after coronavirus and what the conditions will be?

By |

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) affects travel around the world. Travel restrictions have been imposed on certain locations and there may be limitations on the availability of accommodation. These restrictions may limit or prohibit your right to travel and/or stay in hotels or other accommodations. We encourage you to check if travel and accommodation are possible at the chosen location and, if possible, to book fully refundable tickets and accommodation.

After a long time in the house, we all want to travel, so questions like: When will I be able to fly again, Will I be able to visit Greece or Italy? What are the travel conditions, Can I book a city break in Paris? So, in this article, we will talk about the possibility of organizing trips in the next period, what restrictions they involve due to Coronavirus, and what we need to pay attention to.

Restrictions for travelers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic

We know that the circumstances surrounding the coronavirus pandemic are leading to uncertainty. Reading more Reviews, I noticed that many people plan to travel soon. We know that during this period it is difficult to find verified information in an easy and fast way.

That is why it is essential to check the countries that introduce travel restrictions. Some countries require a negative coronavirus test, others require a 7-day quarantine.

If you need to travel, we recommend that you check the information on the websites of local authorities and the World Health Organization (WHO). It is very important when you decide to go on a trip, to buy tickets from reliable travel agencies. In case something happens, you have to be sure that you can get your money back or that you can reschedule your trip.

Practical travel tips

The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed the way of life, from small, daily activities to holidays and travel. Travel increases the risk of contracting or spreading the new coronavirus, which is why it is recommended to avoid travel as much as possible. Do not travel if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been in contact with a person with COVID-19 for the past 14 days.

The risk of contracting COVID-19 while traveling increases in proportion to the number of cases diagnosed in the city or area of destination. Find out about the daily evolution of the number of cases in the area you will reach.

If you choose to travel abroad, the destination country may impose restrictions and requirements different from ours. Before planning a trip, access the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and find out about the need to quarantine at the destination or return. Also, check if you need to take the COVID-19 test before departure.

What do you have to do during the trip?

Take steps to protect yourself and those around you from COVID-19:

  • Wear a face mask to cover both your nose and mouth when in public;
  • Avoid close contact with people around you and keep a distance of at least 1.5-2 meters;
  • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based disinfectant with a concentration of at least 60%;
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unhygienic hands;
  • Avoid contact with sick people.

Depending on what type of trip you want to choose, it is best to inform yourself in advance. For example, if you want to go on an adventure in nature, consult  4TheOutdoors to be prepared for any scenario and any problem that might arise.

Accommodation units should also provide guests with clear information and recommendations before arrival and should have an action plan in case of an infection in their unit. They should also ensure regular cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and adequate ventilation systems. Hotel staff should be trained in basic infection prevention and control measures.

How will the coronavirus pandemic change the way we travel?

Nobody knows when this episode will pass and especially how it will pass. We think we will be much more careful about what and how we buy. Until now, when I was making a reservation, almost no one read the terms and conditions on the pages of hotels or airlines. In the next period, we will certainly be much more attentive to these aspects.

Also, they will increase the number of travel insurances that will protect you both in case of cancellation and case of travel interruption. Most likely, interest in traveling to warm countries will increase. The offers will be very rich and developed in exotic areas.
