However, traveling – whether for business or pleasure – is one of those joys in life and one that we should not give up for the benefits it gives us. For this reason, the Asisa blog recommends a series of protocols that we must take into account, starting with being clear about the Covid situation at the destination. Let’s see:
-
Be aware of local requirements and restrictions: each territory has its own regulations that can be consulted on their official websites. In some places it is required to have a vaccination passport or medical certificates with a negative in PCR. In addition, many businesses and tourist places have modified their schedules and regulations, so it is advisable to confirm them in advance and make reservations, if necessary.
-
Include enough masks, disinfectant gel (try to be less than 100 ml in case you travel by plane) and a thermometer.
-
Wear the masks well when it is mandatory or you cannot keep social distance.
-
Wash your hands frequently. In this post we explain how to do it correctly.
-
Keep a safe distance. Remember, 1.5 meters whenever possible.
-
Limit contact with regularly touched surfaces such as handrails, elevator buttons, or touch panels.
-
Extreme cleaning of everyday objects such as mobile, purse or wallet.
-
Try to load and unload your own luggage to avoid contact with other people.
-
Try to pay by card.
-
Follow the instructions and recommendations of the chosen means of transport to get around.

If you have any symptoms of COVID, contact the authorities to find out which protocol to follow.
