Stop Over Motels recommends following these ten steps when travelling this festive to protect yourself and others from the corona virus pandemic
- Maintain a distance of 6 feet (2 meters) between you and others as much as possible.
- Avoid contact with anyone who appear ill
- Limit contact with frequently touched surfaces, such as handrails, elevator buttons and kiosks. If you must touch these surfaces, try to use your non dominant hand and use hand sanitizer or wash your hands afterwards.
- Wear a good quality face covering.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Cover coughs and sneezes. Remember…protect others as well
- Clean your hands often. It’s especially important after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- If soap and water aren’t available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub your hands together until they feel dry.
- Check country and/or local covid test requirements and restrictions before your trip. Regardless of the any laxity allowed, take a Covid test before and after your travels
Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. If you must travel, talk with your doctor and ask about any additional precautions you may need to take. Rest assured, if you take the necessary precautions and safety steps you greatly reduce the risk of contracting and spreading the covid 19 virus.
Stay safe out there!
