Is It Safe To Travel Now??
When We Can Travel After Corona Virus Pandemic!! The Million Dollar Question For All Travelers
Updated 25 May, 2020
Why It's Not Safe Now??
India already started special inter-state trains. Domestic flights resumed on 25th May 2020. But it is a totally different experience.
Have to follow certain rules in both origin & destination airports as well as states.
Some Basic Rules:
-
have to wear masks
-
web check-in mandatory
-
need to carry sanitizer
-
no in-flight services (except water)
Also, individual airline has its own rules. This is the new normal.
After so many precautions taken by Airport authorities & Airlines, we already heard the news of people getting contaminated during flights.
So, there is no guarantee that we will be safe.
Corona virus is rapidly mutating and some people are asymptomatic now. We never know if we have it or the person beside me is positive or not.
Even if I am super careful wearing PPE, mask, and using sanitizer, some people maybe not following the same rules.
Still, if you see news there are people who are not taking this pandemic seriously.
Continuous news about people is breaking the lockdown rules, bitting up polices, not maintaining social distancing makes me think - how!! How can people be so irresponsible and stupid!!
So how can we trust people?
It’s a simple answer No! We can not. We can not trust ourselves either.
Frankly, we can not wear masks all the time. We can not use sanitizer all the time. That's not practical. We have to remove the mask when we will eat or drink water. We will touch objects unknowingly.
And that little amount of time is enough to get affected.
According to me, it is not safe to travel now.
When We Can Travel Again??
Does this mean we can't travel??
Duhh!! Are you crazy?? Can you spend an entire year without traveling?
No absolutely not!
So the answer is to wait & be patient. There are some key factors for this particular question -
-
Total no of cases in India and most of the countries are increasing every day. Until the graph is going down its not safe to travel.
-
It solely depends on the government and countries' hospitality sector. Some of the countries will be opening in June for tourism like Italy. Italy already opened Pompei.
India is also planning to resume hotels/resorts soon otherwise tourism business will be in great loss.
-
When we will feel safe to travel and have that confidence to travel again.
My best guess the situation will be better from July - August and we can travel again. I am planning my trip in August. Finger crossed and let's hope for the best.
Stay Safe Guys!! And travel via Google Map. :D
Your google search history and suggestions probably are now full of questions like -

How to travel after Covid-19?
Yea!! Same as me, I also have the same questions. Being a traveler it's difficult for us to stay in one place for 2 months. Technically more than that. The news of resuming interstate trains & flights is like a free scoop of ice-cream.
Many countries are opening domestically, some countries are thinking of opening their border soon after almost 2 months of lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
But the big question is - Is it safe to travel now? Will it be normal again?
Frankly speaking, I think the answer is NO! Definitely it's not going to be Normal again. And it's not safe now.
I'll tell you why!!
