COVID OVERVIEW
BEFORE TRAVEL , CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING :
IS COVID-19 SPREADING AT YOUR DESTINATION ?
The more cases at your destination , the more likely you are to get infected during travel and spread the virus to others when you return . Check the following resources for the number of new cases in your destination :
DO YOU LIVE WITH SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE AT INCREASED RISK FOR SEVERE ILLNESS FROM COVID-19 ?
• If you get infected while traveling , you can spread the virus to loved ones when you return , even if you don ’ t have symptoms .
ARE THERE REQUIREMENTS OR RESTRICTIONS FOR TRAVELERS ?
• Some country , state , local , and territorial governments have requirements , such as requiring people to be vaccinated , be recently tested , wear masks and requiring those who recently traveled to stay home for up to 14 days . Check country , state / province and local public health websites for information before you travel for details about entry requirements and restrictions for arriving travelers , such as mandatory testing or
quarantine .
• Likewise , your home country , state or province or local government may have rules for pre-return entry testing and quarantine upon reaching your home .
ARE YOU AT INCREASED RISK FOR SEVERE ILLNESS FROM COVID-19 ?
• Anyone can get very ill from the virus that causes COVID-19 , but older adults and people of any age with certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 .
IS YOUR EMPLOYER AWARE YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL ?
• And if so , are they okay with your quarantining for 10 days if you contract COVID-19 while traveling ?
• If you were to get sick in a foreign country or on an island , are you comfortable with quarantining there for 14 days before you can travel home ? Are you also comfortable with using their healthcare system should the need arise ?
