Luxevo Vacations just so happens to be located in the city where 2 confirmed Coronavirus patients are located. It seems the frenzy has begun: water and canned foods flying off the shelves, preparing for a possible armageddon scenario where rations become scarce.

One of the things that are being talked about most is travel! In some parts of the world travel is being restricted, but not most. With such widespread fear, I think it’s a good thing to talk about how to travel safely. Paranoia isn’t necessary, but it’s always great to be prepared! Keeping in mind that these are simple tips you may have heard, but are important to put into practice at times like these.
1. Wash Your Hands
It seems obvious but washes your hands often. Be sure to not put your hands in your mouth or eyes to avoid spreading any kind of infection. Bring hand sanitizer along as well!
2. Sit in the Window
A recent study shows that people that sit in the window seat are the least likely to be affected by a possible infection on their plane. This is because you are in less contact with the flight attendant, who is in contact with most people. This isn’t to say you should be antisocial or rude to avoid Coronavirus, but it is just a thought for those who are very paranoid.
3. Maybe Wear a Mask?
In media coverage of the CoronaVirus, you may see a lot of people wearing hospital masks. They are useful in the protection against the standard influenza virus, but not so much in terms of Corona. It is better to wash your hands and staying in when you are sick- but they may make you feel safer.
4. Boost Your Immunity
Before every plane ride, I make sure I take airborne- it’s a vitamin tablet that apparently keeps you from getting sick. It’s important to remember that those most affected by viruses are older people or those who are compromised. It’s not plausible that you’d be able to build your immune system overnight, but it isn’t a bad idea to try and make healthy choices the month before traveling. Exercise, eat right, and hell- through in some vitamins.
5. Avoid Traveling
If you are very paranoid about traveling during this virus frenzy or are a self-proclaimed hypochondriac, stay home! We wouldn’t suggest this of course! Travel, just be safe.
