Check the travel guidelines of your destination, make necessary adjustments that will work for your family. Follow the local guidelines and the health protocols implemented in your destination.
Here are other tips:
• Avoid high-risk areas or those places with a high number of Covid-19 cases. This is to avoid contracting the disease.
• Make sure family members have been vaccinated incuding booster shots. You may also get recommendations from medical practitioners, especially if a family member has medical conditions.
• Reconsider the trip, if necessary. Just like how medical professionals put it, prevention is better than cure. There is no better way to avoid the virus by limiting physical interactions that may put family members at risk because of unnecessary travel.
• If it can still be postponed, have it rescheduled by the end of the year, after the peak of Covid-19 cases in September to October based on the projection of the Department of Health.
• Avail of a travel insurance policy. If you can no longer postpone your family travel, it is safer to get travel insurance..
Keep in mind that no matter how well you plan, there is always a chance that something can go wrong. A good travel insurance policy can help you cover unexpected risks for you and your family members, in case something happens during the trip.
