But what else can you do to protect yourself and stay healthy while on the road? Here are some tips:

Before you go:

Start planning at least a month before your trip. Check travel restrictions and medical considerations for your destination. Talk to your doctor about recommendations based on your personal medical history and concerns. Get recommended vaccines and pick up medications based on where you are traveling and your doctor’s advice. Review your healthcare coverage and find out any health-related requirements from your transportation and lodging providers. Pack a health kit with all your essentials.

While traveling:

Maintain healthy habits from home, drink plenty of clean water, eat healthy food, and get enough sleep. Avoid high-touch surfaces, clean them before touching if possible, and use hand sanitizer afterward. Wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds and avoid touching your face, especially after touching surfaces. Minimize your time in crowded spaces, especially indoors, and keep a 6-foot distance from those who are not traveling with you when possible. Consider wearing a mask while on planes and other modes of transportation or in crowded indoor spaces.

When you return:

Be aware of symptoms for at least a week after your trip, check with your doctor if you think you may have been exposed to people who were sick during your trip, and consider limiting your contact with others if you are concerned you may have picked up an illness while traveling.

By taking these steps, you can minimize your risk of getting sick while traveling and enjoy your trip to the fullest. Don’t let health concerns hold you back from exploring the world. With Winson Health’s international health insurance and these travel tips, you can travel with confidence.
