7 Must Have Travel Supplies During Covid - 19

April 11, 2021

Even Though things seem to be turning back to normal, safety precautions have to be strictly adhered to. Try to avoid unwanted travels until things turn out to be completely normal. Here are a few things on what to carry during your travel in this pandemic.

  1. Face Masks: 

Face masks act as a protective shield against the invading coronavirus. Wearing a face mask during a trip is highly essential. These face masks not just protect you from the virus but will also prevent the transmission of infection from you to others. You can choose face masks upon your comfort; it could be surgical masks or cloth masks. But always make sure you either dispose of (in case of surgical masks) or wash it after every use ( in case of cloth masks). Always carry a spare mask with you.

  1.  Hand Sanitizers:

Hand sanitizers are yet another essential item. Even Though we are careful, it is practically impossible to avoid touching other surfaces. Coronavirus is not something you could see through the naked eye, therefore it is difficult to stay away from it. Washing your hands frequently might be possible during travel. Carrying pocket-size sanitizers can be travel-friendly as well as safe. Hand sanitizers contain alcohol which kills the germs in your hand and offers total protection.

  1. Hand Gloves :

Hand gloves are additional protection to your hands. We might get to touch a lot of surfaces, if you're a person really wants to be precautious then opt for hand gloves. Wearing hand gloves may be optional if you choose to wash your hands frequently or use a hand sanitizer whenever you get in contact with a surface. Some people might be allergic to disposable gloves as they sweat a lot, those people can either use cloth gloves or avoid wearing gloves. Importantly, while you are removing your gloves be very careful to not touch the interior part of the gloves.

  1. Carry home-cooked food: 

 It is recommended to carry home-cooked food as we may be really sure with the quality of the food. Even Though restaurants claim to cook under proper safety conditions, there are high chances of food being contaminated while at serving. We may not be able to inspect everything like the plates being sterilized or workers being properly sanitized. It is always safer to carry home-cooked food during travel. Outside foods might not suit everyone and a lot of restaurants on highways have not been open yet. Always carry enough snacks and home-cooked food.

  1. Carry enough water :

In order to ensure safety, avoid buying water bottles outside. Purchasing water bottles outside could be contaminated. Changing the drinking water all of a sudden might affect the throat in some people. Keeping yourself hydrated is very important especially during travel as we may easily get dehydrated. Keeping yourself hydrated is essential to avoid unnecessary doctor visits and ensures stress-free travel.

  1. Carry the necessary Medications: 

Do not forget to carry the medications that you regularly take and also carry few other basic medications. Other spare medications for cold, fever, diarrhea, etc will help us in times of emergency. While traveling we might get used to so many new things which might not suit everyone.  Long travels might cause headaches for few people, some might easily catch cold due to the climatic/weather conditions. Especially during this pandemic, it is essential to carry medicines that might help you quickly prevent the immediate symptoms of any infections.

  1. Carry disinfecting supplies: 

Disinfecting supplies like disinfecting wipes, disinfecting cleaners or UV disinfecting devices are available in the market. Carry these disinfecting supplies particularly in travel as you can quickly clean your desktop or handles you touch which will ensure safety from the covid infections. There are disinfecting devices available that help to disinfect your electronic devices like mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc.

These are the common takeaways while traveling during the COVID pandemic. It is our responsibility to protect ourselves from being infected. These simple tips might help you in safer travel during times like these. Have safe and secured travel
