Here&#8217;s what you should be doing\u2026"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The dusk of diseases with the dawn of festivals! Hope that could be true. However, in reality, it\u2019s not &#8211; everything, including the work, daily routine, traveling, festivals, and infections, go hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amidst all this, if the deadly pathogens meticulously play their part and perform their duties, why should we stop?<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a different feel in the air during the festive season in India, something not adequately expressed in words. The enthusiasm of the masses, the noise in the traveling routes, the colorful markets, and the hotchpotch around all seem to sync and create an exuberant atmosphere. It\u2019s natural to forget about diseases, infections, social distancing, and precautions while we are at the peak of such \u2018fun times.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I see many of my friends and colleagues planning to go back to their respective homes or arrange a vacation in Goa or Shimla or Udaipur for the next two months. In the eagerness to book tickets, the fear of COVID, catching a cold, or getting infections seems to be ignored. However, let\u2019s see what we should know and simple steps we can follow while traveling home, to have a long-lasting enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1>Traveling during festivals<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Planning<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Book your tickets or plan your travel in advance. This would help you counter the tension of boarding overcrowded buses or trains. Advanced booking would also ensure booking of seats keeps social distancing in mind. Planned travel has an additional benefit that helps you avoid last-minute packing, mess, and pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Medications<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have some medical or health problem, like cold or flu, season-based medical issues, traveling sickness, or any other chronic disease, it is advisable you schedule an appointment with your doctor and seek advice on the medications you should carry along and precautions you should follow.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Vaccination<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A crucial point during present times. Make sure you are COVID-vaccinated, at least the first dose. Not only it will help you follow travel norms, but it will also boost your \u2018health\u2019 confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Consumptions<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You must eat wisely while traveling. Please take care of the food you consume and what outdoor foods suit you. It would be good if you carried some food items along for the journey. More than food, it is significant to take along water bottle(s) according to your travel time. Or buy bottled water if traveling via air route.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Disinfection<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another very critical factor &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/shop\">sanitizing and disinfecting<\/a><\/span>. Carrying a small sanitizer-cum-disinfectant bottle along would solve most of your problems and ease many of your worries. If there is a simple solution to a grave situation, then why not?<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Knowledge<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is essential to gather the knowledge of the place you are traveling to, specifically during an infection-dominated time. In addition, many states have imposed COVID-specific travel norms; hence it is recommended to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.india.com\/travel\/articles\/travel-rules-festival-season-2021-list-of-states-require-negative-covid-test-report-vaccination-certificate-maharashtra-karnataka-tamil-nadu-uttarakhand-himachal-pradesh-kerala-gujarat-rajastha-4920388\/\">check the same out<\/a><\/span> and also maintain social distancing if going inter-state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Better safe than sorry.
