Considering Traveling Somewhere This Summer?
As the world begins to reopen after months of lockdowns and quarantines, many people are starting to think about traveling again. However, summer vacations may look different for many of us this year. The CDC recommends caution when traveling as it can increase the risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. Travelers are likely to encounter the virus in places like airports, trains, and rest stops. Additionally, visitors to some states may be required to quarantine upon arrival, so it’s important to do your research before traveling. For those interested in exploring Connecticut, the Connecticut Entertainer blog is a great resource for discovering what’s open, closed, and available for visitors in the state.
Consider these suggestions when planning and packing for your trip:
- Be aware of travel advisories and the reported rates of infection in the area where you will be staying. Here in Connecticut, Governor Lamont has issued quarantine protocols for visitors coming in from states with rising infection rates. This self-quarantine – effective 11:59 p.m. on June 24, 2020 – applies to any person arriving from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents or a state with a 10 percent or higher positivity rate over a 7-day rolling average. So, if planning to visit one of the states that meet this criteria (as of today, these include Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Utah), be aware that you will need to self quarantine for 14 days when you return home.
- If taking a road trip, remember that making stops along the way for gas or food increases your exposure to people and surfaces. Try to pack road snacks or use the drive through if you stop for food. Remember to social distance and wear a mask when using the restroom. Wash your hand thoroughly after pumping gas.
- Some states, particularly in the south and west, are experiencing significant COVID19 outbreaks – check out the infection rates before making a final decision.
- Things to Bring:
- Masks – Wear a cloth face-covering whenever out in public—including while traveling—to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- Cleaning Items – A container of disinfecting wipes or spray can be used to wipe down public surfaces before you touch them (like plane or train seats and arm rests) and to sanitize your hotel room or rental when you first arrive. Consider wearing disposable gloves while cleaning. Remember that even if you wash your hands regularly, try to avoid touching things when out in public.
- Hand Sanitizer – While washing your hands is the best way to keep yourself (and those around you) safe, if you don’t have access to soap or water use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol before and after using public places or eating food.
- Water Bottles – Avoid having to use public fountains by traveling with your own bottled water.
- Travel Pillows and Blankets – Many airlines have eliminated these amenities.
