Tips for Traveling Abroad during a Pandemic


The pandemic is still not over, after the delta variant of the Covid 19 pandemic that caused many deaths, the omicron variant and perhaps other variants that can threaten the lives of Asian Destination Readers have appeared. The most appropriate step is indeed to limit activities not to leave the house, but if you are forced and choose to vacation abroad Asian Destination will share some tips that you can pay attention to, including:

1.      Make sure you are healthy

The first thing that must be ensured, of course, is a healthy self. Make sure your body is in good health. Don't let you keep forcing yourself to go even though at that time your body is dropping. In addition, now to be able to enter these countries, many require you to include a PCR letter (Covid 19 test results) explaining that you are healthy and free of Covid-19.

2.      Do your research before going

Before traveling, do thorough research on the country's policies. Make sure whether they really have strict rules regarding health protocols. Some countries that are considered to have implemented the protocol quite well are Singapore and Thailand. In addition, Asian Destination Readers must also do research on the issue of self-quarantine when arriving at the destination country, because there are several countries that require self-quarantine at their own expense, which of course will affect the budget you have to bring.

3.      Apply standard health protocol

Implementation of health protocols while on vacation abroad is mandatory. Therefore, make sure you know what the local health protocol is. Don't forget to wash your hands, bring hand sanitizer, and wear a mask. Keeping distance is also important. Don't forget to bring enough spare masks. In addition, it is also important for readers to pay attention to the health protocols carried out by local residents, so that we can protect ourselves when traveling and avoid places that are too crowded or do not comply with health protocols.

4.      Vaccinated

Vaccines are available everywhere, if you haven't vaccinated, immediately get vaccinated with any vaccine available in your country. By vaccinating you will be able to speed up this pandemic to end soon. However, also pay attention to the vaccine requirements in your destination country because there are some countries that refuse certain vaccines.

Don't forget, if you have returned to your country of origin, also obey the rules, if there is indeed another quarantine, then you must comply with the self-quarantine. Hopefully this pandemic will end soon and we can go back to our normal activities.
