Traveling during COVID can be stressful. But if you are are cautious, do your research and take the necessary precautions, you can explore the world while keeping yourself and others safe.
Planning a Trip: When you’re planning your trip, there are a few things you should research beforehand:
- Travel restrictions and key information regarding COVID, which can be found on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website
- COVID testing information and policies of the country you are visiting; this can usually be found on the country’s main website
- Airline cancellation policies
Traveling: When you’re traveling during COVID, the following items are essential to bring:
- Mask
- Hand sanitizer
- Clorox wipes (to wipe down your plane seat)
- COVID test results if you’re traveling somewhere that requires a negative test result. I would recommend bringing a printed copy
During these times, I would highly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Make sure that the insurance you purchase covers losses due to COVID. I purchased insurance through World Nomads; more information on their COVID insurance is below.
- Cancellations due to fear of travel are not covered. However, our plan does not exclude losses associated with pandemic or epidemic conditions; meaning that if you, your traveling companion or family member were to become sick (after you purchase the plan) as a result of COVID-19, you could still receive benefits for losses covered by the plan.
