How to Stay Safe While Traveling During a Pandemic 

#1 Tip: If you have to travel while we’re in a pandemic, social distancing, wearing face masks (and gloves), and frequently applying alcohol-based hand sanitizer on your hands are the basics when you’re out in public. But if you’re traveling by plane, the social distancing part can be slightly difficult due to limited space on a plane, so your best bet is to always wear a face mask or covering in confined areas. We currently carry the PJ Harlow Satin Face Mask for those needing a face mask or extra face masks on hand while traveling. 

Please note that if you have chronic health issues, consult your doctor before traveling.

#2 Tip: Planning to stay at a hotel or Airbnb? Ask the staff what they’re doing to prevent the COVID-19 spread and how they’re keeping their guests and faculty safe. Also, be sure to inquire if there have been any coronavirus cases at the location. Even if you receive reassurance from your lodging, it’s best to keep sanitizing wipes and even miniature alcohol-based hand sanitizing sprays to ensure that your travel space is clean and safe.

#3 Tip: Sanitize hotel key cards and other items that you carry with you that may be touched or shared by others. You should also be wary of using complimentary items from your stay and even on the plane or bus (however you’re traveling) and bring your own items; e.g., reusable water bottles, straws, and even utensils. If you receive complimentary food like free breakfasts and snacks, sanitize the outside of packaged goods and know who you’re receiving free food from (e.g., are they wearing masks/gloves when handling food?). In these changing times, breakfast may actually be served in your room if you’re lodging at a hotel, so ask ahead of time and get all information to ensure you’re safe. 

Always be informed about the latest updates on the COVID-19 pandemic and travel safety measures at the CDC website.
