The novel coronavirus shows no signs of slowing as it continues to spread like wildfire in the United States. We are now experiencing the aftermath of all that holiday travel, which experts warned against last year. Did you know that over one million Americans boarded planes the day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned against holiday travel? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s understandable that people wanted to get away or see family for the holidays. That\u2019s been the routine forever, but sometimes it\u2019s necessary to adapt to the changing times. It\u2019s hard to do this when pandemic fatigue is taking a toll on millions of people. The desire to see family and be with loved ones or visit new and exciting destinations is a risk people were willing to take. Unfortunately, this meant that people submerged their concerns about contracting COVID-19 below their desire to travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if you decide to travel in or out of the United States, keep in mind that many states recently implemented travel restrictions. Many states have face mask mandates in public settings and some states require 10-day quarantine upon arrival. Additionally, some states require proof of a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours prior to departure. That last rule is contingent with the travel restrictions that various countries put in place. Despite these rules, the number of travelers, both domestic and international, increases with each passing week. Airlines also started to increase capacity on planes and do not always block off middle seats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
