SAFELY
SAFELY AND HOW NEWS REPORTER JORDAN CHAVEZ SPOKE TO EXPERTS TO GET ANSWERS FOR YOU.
IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE ALL
THOUGHT ABOUT AT LEAST A DOZEN
TIMES DURING THE PANDEMIC,
ESPECIALLY WHEN COLORADO'S
WEATHER IS WELL LIKE THIS WHEN
CAN WE TRAVEL AGAIN AND DO SO
SAFELY ACCORDING TO THE CDC
THE ANSWER IS NOW IT'S BEEN
OVER A YEAR AND I HAVE BEEN SO
EXCITED TO GET BACK TO TRAVLING
EVEN DOCTORS LIKE NINE HEALTH
EXPERT PIKOLI ALREADY TO JET
OUT AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR
OF BEING COOPED UP.
I'M GLAD WE'RE TRANSITIONING
BACK TOWARDS A MORE NORMAL LIFE
TO WARROR TRAVLING AGAIN.
BUT IF WE ARE GOING TO DO IT WE
HAVE TO EXERCISE PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES SHE SAYS WE CAN'T TAKE
LIGHTLY IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
TO THE SKIES BECAUSE EVEN IF
AIRLINES HAVE THEIR OWN SAFETY
GUIDELINES IN PLACE, NO AIRPORT
HAS FOUND AN AIRTIGHT SOLUTION
TO THOSE TIGHT SPACES INCLUDING
CHECKING IN YOUR BAGS INCLUDING
BOARDING THE PLANE, INCLUDING
GETTING OFF THE PLANE.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SOCIALLY
AUSTYN WHICH IS WHY SHE SAYS
THOSE MASKS ARE STILL NEEDED AS
OUR SANITARY WIPES TO CLEAN OFF
ANY SURFACE THAT MIGHT COME IN
CLOSE CONTACT WITH YOUR FACE
AND PROTIP DOCOTR KOHLI SAYS
USE THE RESTROOM AT THE AIRPORT
TO HELP YOU AVOID USING THAT
ONE ON THE PLANE.
PLANNING IS GOING TO BE
THE NAME OF THE GAME BECAUSE
2020 WAS BASICALLY THE YEAR
WITHOUT TRAVEL TROUBLE.
SKYLER MCKINLEY SAYS WE CAN
EXPECT THE EXACT OPPOSITE THIS
TIME AROUND.
IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT
TRAVLING IS A PRETTY GOOD
CHANCE EVERYBODY ELSE IS
THINKING ABOUT TRAVEL AND
THEY'RE MAKING PLANS AMONG
THE TOP DESTINATIONS NATIONAL
PARKS OR RESERVATIONS OR A MUST
BEACH DESTINATIONS AND MAJOR
U.S. CITIES.
BUT AAA SAYS THE MOST PEOPLE
WANT TO TAKE ARE THE ONES THAT
WE CAN ALL RELATE TO.
WHAT WE KEEP HEARING FROM
TRAVELERS IS THEY'RE PLANNING
VACATIONS AROUND SEEING LOVED
ONES.
THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANY
THE KEYWORD THERE IS STILL
PLAN.
IN FACT, MCKINLEY SAYS
SPONSORED PFOR NOW IS A THING
OF THE PAST.
IT'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH DEMAND
AND JUST NOT A TON OF SUPPLY
UNTIL THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY GETS
COMPLETELY RESTARTED.
THAT'S ESPECIALLY TRUE IF YOUR
VACATION REQUIRES A RENTAL CAR
WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, RENTAL
COMPANIES TOOK A MAJOR BLOW AND
TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE A LOT
OF THEM SOLD OFF PART OF THEIR
FLEETS.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU IS
EVEN IF YOU CAN FIND A CAR IT'S
LIKELY TO BE PRICEY.
TWENTY TWENTY ONE IS GOING TO
BE A BONKERS OR PFOR TRAVLING
INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC
REGARDLESS OF YOUR DESTINATION.
DR. SAY THERE IS ONE CRITICAL
PIECE TO ANY PLAN WHERE YOU'RE
GOING, WHO YOU'RE GOING WITH,
HOW YOU'RE GOING AND WHAT
YOU'RE DOING AS YOU'RE GOING
GOES.
I THINK THE KEY COMPONENTS WHEN
YOU'RE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT
TO TAKE THAT SUMMER VACATION
AND TO DO IT SAFELY SO WHETHER
YOU'RE GETTING ON THE ROAD
AGAIN OR FLYING HIGH IN
THE SKY, WE WISH YOU SAFE
TRAVELS AND THAT'S OUR KEYBOARD

STAUTON JARVIS 9NEWS DR KELLY
SAYS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FULLY
VACCINATED COVID TESTS ARE
NECESSARY BEFORE YOU TRAVEL AS
PFOR WHEN YOU RETURN FROM YOUR
TRIP.
DR KHOLI SAYS COVID TESTS ARE
REALLY UP TO YOU.
SHE SAYS IT'S HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
NOT VACCINATED AND FOR THOSE
WHO ARE IT'S LIKELY ONLY NEEDED
IF YOU FEEL YOU MAY HAVE BEEN
EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS BUT IF
YOU'RE FULLY VACCINATED
SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
TELL US FROM ONE TO FIVE WHERE
WOULD YOU RATE YOUR LEVEL
OF COMFORT WITH TRAVLING AND
WHY YOU CAN USE THE HASHTAG
MILEHIGHMORNING.
JAMES SAYS FIVE ADDING JUST GOT
BACK FROM FLORIDA.
IT WAS FANTASTIC.
WAIT TO TRAVEL AGAIN NEXT
MONTH.
I NEED TO GET MYSELF TO A
BEACH, RITA SAYS MINUS ETORO.
SHE THINKS SITTING THAT CLOSE
TO SOMEONE ON AN AIRPLANE IS
JUST TOO CLOSE.
LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
JENNIFFER IS IN BETWEEN.
SHE SAYS SHE'S A FOUR OR FIVE
OF TRAVLING WITHIN THE STATE
BUT OUT OF THE STATE OR COUNTRY
SHE'S A THREE.
SHE SAYS I'M NOT TOO
COMFORTABLE WITH BEING SO FAR
AWAY FROM HOME IN A STRANGE
PLACE ALL BY MYSELF ADDING
I DON'T WANT TO RISK BRINGING
THE VIRUS BACK WITH ME.
SHE PLANS TO GIVE IT A FEW MORE
MONTHS BEFORE TRAVLING OUT
OF STATE.
I TRAVELED OVER THE WEEKEND TO
SEE MY MOM IN TEXAS FOR
MOTHER'S AND IT WAS A BIT OF A
SHOCK.
I MEAN I'M USED TO EMPTY
AIRPORTS BUT IT WAS PACKED TO
BE TSA AGENTS WERE YELLING AT
PEOPLE WHO WERE BACK TO
PANDEMIC TIMES.
SO YOU KNOW, DON'T BE SHOCKED
WHEN YOU GO TO AN AIRPORT
BECAUSE IT IS BACK TO NORMAL.
TRAINS WERE PACKED TO IT IS
KIND OF THE AIRPORT THAT FREAKS
ME.
I DON'T KNOW I'M SOMEWHERE IN
THE MIDDLE TOO.
I'LL I'LL DO SOME TRAVELING BUT
I THINK MOST OF OUR TRAVLING
UNTIL WE GET DEEP INTO
THE SUMMER IS JUST GOING TO BE
TO SEE FAMILY AND AND SOME
FRIENDS AND PROBABLY A LOT
OF DRIVING TRIPS.
I MUST HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT LIVE ON THE EDGE ON
MY SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE
I QUESTION ON A SCALE OF ONE TO
FIVE I HAD LIKE 10 20 AND I HAD
A LOT OF FIVES AND I'M THERE
WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THE LAST
YEAR AND A HALF ESPECIALLY WITH
A NEWBORN WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING
A LOT OF TRAVELING AND SO I'M
READY.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN COOPED UP
FOR SO LONG I'M READY TO GO
SOMEWHERE AND I'M THINKING A
BEACH DESTINATION ED BECAUSE
OF OUR WEATHER LATELY.
YEAH, NO KIDDING.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT AND I'VE
HEARD THAT THE CIRCULATION IN
THE AIRPLANES ARE MUCH BETTER
THAN ANY PLACE ELSE SO THAT'S
PRETTY SAFE BEING ON THE PLANE
