we publish a new video in today's video we are going to talk about how to travel safely
in 2021 we are living through some callous times we have seen people die in hospitals some of you
might have witnessed deaths in your own home deaths of your loved ones and i wish that you
have the strength to deal with that loss many of us lost our business due to no customers
and lockdowns we have seen the death toll rising every single day and it is not stopping
we were forced to wear a mask wherever we go covid 19 changed our lives mainly in a negative way one
of the most significant changes that we saw during the covet 19 pandemic was the international travel
was halted for probably the longest period ever thankfully with the availability of vaccines
we can fight back and bring things to normality but traveling is nothing like it used to be there
are some protocols that we need to follow to stay safe and secure during such unfortunate times
so in this video, we'll be guiding you on how you can travel safely after the pandemic so without
further ado let's begin first of all you have to check the covid 19 situation in countries and
whether your country is allowing flights to that particular country even though many countries have
minimized the infection rate of this disease by a large margin thanks to strict safety protocols
and vaccinations there are still many countries in the world that is still suffering from covid 19
and the situation is not good enough you can hope that the situation in those countries gets better
but right now avoid going to countries with high infection rates you can check covid 19 related
statistics at covid19.who dot int as they have been updating covet 19 statistics in real-time
since the start of this pandemic even if you are completely vaccinated it is recommended to avoid
going to countries that have a high infection rate every vaccine has a different efficacy
rate even though it is not probable that you will get infected while being fully vaccinated
there have been many breakthrough infections with fully vaccinated people your vulnerability to
the virus depends on the efficacy of your vaccine you can check the efficacy of your vaccine online
very quickly also check if your vaccine is being accepted abroad for example some countries are
not accepting tourists who have been vaccinated through chinese vaccines this might change shortly
but right now vaccinations from vaccines like pfizer and moderna are being accepted globally
you must also keep in mind the after effects of the vaccines you have been vaccinated with and
check the possible side effects even months later for example astrazeneca vaccines have caused blood
clots in some vaccinated individuals which is why countries in europe have limited this vaccine for
now or only handling it to people over 60 plus and some countries might not allow you in if you have
been vaccinated with it so do complete research on your vaccine and which countries are allowing you
to travel to now let's talk about the protocols you should follow when you go to an airport
airports take extreme precautionary measures these days to stop the spread of the virus instead of
using plastic boxes they place personal belongings such as wallets phones and keys and carry-on bags
but there are several protocols that the staff at the airport wants you to follow first of all you
should be observing social distancing regardless of your vaccination status you have to maintain
a six foot distance in all waiting lines in the waiting lounge you have to sit leaving one seat
vacant travelers are required to wear a mask at all times the airport staff is required to wear
masks and gloves at all times as well and they are required to change their gloves now and then not
all airports around the world are strict with social distancing rules so if you are visiting
a country like that make sure to avoid physical contact and wear a mask the most comfortable i
could find our long-term use is pure msk get it on amazon or direct here pure dash msk.com this
is just something you have to do no matter where you go airport staff around the world are required
to follow strict health protocols for american travelers violation of this extremely strict rule
will result in a 250 dollar fine for the first offense if this offense gets repeated the offender
has to pay fifteen hundred dollars for not wearing a mask other countries have also imposed different
fines on travelers who do not wear a mask at all times so no matter what happens always wear
a mask and if you tend to have breathing issues while wearing a mask it is recommended that you
should not travel during such difficult times try keeping a considerable amount of distance
with your fellow travelers at all times another important thing that you should be carrying with
you while traveling is a pocket bottle of good quality sanitizer you should be sanitizing your
hands now and then to keep yourself safe from the virus regardless of your vaccination status
there are several documents you have to keep with you while traveling first of all you have to carry
a valid negative coveted pcr or antigen test most of the countries are only accepting fully
vaccinated individuals so if you are not fully vaccinated especially if you are from the americas
you won't be allowed to travel therefore you also must be having your vaccination card while
traveling to show it on screening checkpoints you should also carry your travel insurance with
covert coverage while traveling as the officers might ask you for that when you board the flight
you should keep your mask on during the flight as well no matter how long your flight is also
we know that many often ignore the in-flight instructions given by the flight attendant
but this is the time when you should be entirely focusing on what instructions you are getting from
there because there might be some information and instructions that are incredibly crucial for you
to remember while traveling so you should rather concentrate on what the air hostess is saying
instead of checking her out if you like doing that we would recommend you get a mask for your eyes as
well anyways when travel was resuming after covid 19 infection rates eased a bit around the world
flights were asked to keep distance between the seats and have just fifty percent occupancy in
the flights but as flight operators had suffered a lot of losses already due to the travel ban they
started ignoring these suggestions they decided to run flight operations with mandatory masks and
gloves but full occupancy right now none of the airlines are implementing a one-seat gap in their
flights, therefore, you should always wear a mask and gloves if possible avoid physical contact with
fellow passengers and keep sanitizing your hands I'm too scared to travel right now and expose
myself unnecessarily and i am vaccinated with pfizer i will wait until the delta variant is over
and everything calms down a bit if you are fully vaccinated and the country accepts the vaccine
that you have gotten vaccinated from you might not have to go through a 14-day quarantine period
neither you have to be in some sort of a bio bubble however if you are traveling and are
not fully vaccinated you will have to go through a 14-day quarantine period before beginning your
trip this is not how you want to travel so make sure you only travel when you get fully
vaccinated if you are going on a cruise you'll have to go through similar protocols for example
you'll have to maintain social distancing you'll have to wear a mask during gatherings
and you should be carrying a sanitizer with you at all times some countries are working
on vaccine certified passport programs so that for the future, it's in your passport whether you
are vaccinated from covid 19 or not for now you can just carry your coven 19 vaccination proof
and you are good to go wherever you want to go we just got here the first two cruise ships back in
cozumel mexico june 2021 the next thing you would want to do is plan your activities now you know
where you want to go and now you have reached your desired destination now you have to plan what you
want to do still many entertainment spots aren't open in the majority of the tourist destinations
so you need to check what's open and accessible so that you don't go to a place paying a lot for taxi
and finding out that the place is closed until further notice due to risk of covet 19 infections
so always check what's open and what safety protocols you have to follow over there before
visiting the place if your favorite activity is not open yet you can delay your tour until
the world opens up and normalizes just like the time before someone in china ate a bat for lunch
last but not least carry some extra money with you to cope with the emergency medical expenses
because anything can happen in such unpredictable and disturbing times plus also have extra masks
mandatory first aid some regular painkillers and if you are on medicines carry medicines with you
if you are going through some other disease lately it is recommended to give your travel
urges a little break so you won't be vulnerable to an infection or any other medical emergency
last but not least when you choose hotels make sure that the hotels are well sanitized and are
cleaned properly you can check about that with the hotel website before booking a room some high
caliber hotels already advertise how they sanitize your rooms now and then so this is the time when
you should not go for cheap hotels and hike up your hotel budget to stay in a safe secure and
well sanitized place because cheap hotels around the world don't clean the rooms properly and god
knows what has happened on the bed of the room you just booked and what kind of germs might be there
