After the mass spread of coronavirus, a large part of the citizens of the world have been puzzled about the planned trips. Some of them need to be postponed for months to come, but a good part of them may not cancel their tickets. In any case like this, doctors say that there are some functional strategies that help you maintain health during this journey.
If your plans were to travel to China, Italy, South Korea or Iran, you will likely need to change them if they are not very important.
Most airlines are giving passengers the option to set a second date for their trip or are refunding.
Seeing how quickly the situation with coronavirus changes, it is important to be alert during your flight, even if you are not going to one of the affected countries. Many people who travel during this time, even in untouched countries, are afraid of a possible aircraft infection, but while that is understandable, there is no need for a flight cancellation.
What you need to keep in mind is not to touch any surface that has been touched by someone ill in front of you. Wash your hands with soap regularly and then disinfect. Avoid any contact with people who cough or sneeze. If you do not have a disinfectant, wet paper works too. Do not use masks unless you are sick yourself or traveling with someone who has symptoms.
Remember that viruses usually live on the surface for one (maximum 2 days) and then disappear. Traveling increases the likelihood of getting sick, but not necessarily an alarm. Remember that more people become infected and die from the common flu than from coronavirus. It's important to feel safe, but more importantly don't panic!
