Do not travel
"I still don't think people should travel and try to stay home," says Krotika Copale, an infectious disease physician and vice chair of the World Health Committee of the Infectious Disease Control Society of America.
"Avoid traveling as much as possible," advised Jagdish Khubchandani, a professor of health sciences at Ball State University.
But if you have to make the trip, the answer to your accommodation question depends on a number of factors, and it requires some personal research.
Doctor Daniel Berliner confirms to "Plush Care" website, "As we learned during the Corona pandemic, there is really no completely safe haven," and he said, "However, if you have to travel, taking the necessary steps to make your place clean and safe reduces the risk of infection." ".

Make sure of the interval that the hotel (or home) management applies between guests, to reduce the chances of transmitting the infection in the event that a guest is infected with the virus, and it has not been detected, as many hotels and rental property owners keep vacant rooms for several days after the guest leaves for protection Additional.
Major hotel chains are subject to regular monitoring of the implementation of disinfection and prevention policies, and individuals' homes may not be subject to the same control;
