The first one is about considering the risk of contracting the virus i.e. if you have an elderly member in your family or a person with health issues like diabetes or heart disease, then you must reconsider your decision as these people are more prone to the virus.

Also, if you have an infant with you, then just ask yourself whether it will be safe to travel with him/her or not. Thus, make your travel plans only if you have analyzed such situations.

2. Choosing transportation

Also, make sure to disinfect the vehicle before traveling. Railway or air travel is a good option for long distances but with it comes huge risks as well. In order to ensure a safe travel, don’t forget to carry disinfectants and sanitizer.
