How to travel safely and arrive well during COVID-19?

To help you make an informed decision about the safety and well-being of your travelers or you are traveling to Europe during covid19 we have prepared the following information. It is your responsibility to ensure your travelers comply with any government travel restrictions. 

Focusing on air travel however, as with any flu season, there are precautions you can take to diminish your risk of becoming unwell.

Practice good hygiene

Respiratory diseases like COVID-19 spread through droplets of saliva or mucus, usually when people cough or sneeze, then others come in contact with the droplets. So avoid touching your own nose, eyes, and mouth with unwashed hands, as viruses most often enter the body through these routes. 

Cover up

Cover your mouth and nose when you cough, sneeze into your elbow and wear a facemask to protect your fellow travelers. If you feel sick while at work, go home as soon as possible. 

Stay clear of people with a cold or cough

Experts define experience as being within 6feet of an infected person for 10 minutes or more. WHO defines contact with a diseased person as being seated within two rows of one another. 

Clean up

While many airlines have announced an extra plane dusting and cleaning, there is no guarantee that every surface will get the full treatment. So carry antibacterial wipes to clean your seat armrest, tray table, seat-back pocket, seat touch screen, window blind, and air vent. The same advice is sensible for other items frequently used by travelers, including hotel doors or stuff in the hotel room. It is recommended to clean your hands after traveling in taxis, elevators, and more. 

If you are planning to travel Europe during covid19, make sure to keep the above-mentioned precautions in mind to keep yourself safe.
