Travel nightmare during the pandemic

The world has seen many pandemic situations come and go. As far as the current pandemic situation is concerned, there were restrictions to travel from one place to another due to the fear of getting infected.

Traveling during the pandemic is not advisable and tenable if we take into account the spread of viruses daily. Burgeoning cases all over India have set alarm bells ringing and the situation has gone out of control already.

The lockdown has been eased and we are currently in the unlock phase 5. Traveling should be avoided or postponed to a future date unless and until the situation becomes normal and abates completely.

Whether you travel in your vehicle or use public transport, one needs to take precautionary measures and avoid getting close or gathering at a crowded place. Even if a person wishes to travel, he or she has to carry a mask, a sanitizer, and gloves to safeguard themselves.

Avoid unnecessary travel and venture out only if it is an emergency. Do not travel with a group and always follow social distancing norms. Despite strict orders from the city administration and the government authorities, people don’t seem to care about their safety and are taking unprecedented risks on their hands.

If possible keep in touch with your near and dear ones via the internet or WhatsApp. Do not encourage anyone to visit your house unless it is urgent and is beyond your control.

The current pandemic situation is so severe that people all over the country are evading rules and defying norms to a large extent.

Several state governments have relaxed rules with SOPs in place. Strict compliance with the SOPs has been made mandatory in several cities and this has forced people to observe social distancing rules sincerely and honestly.

There are many travel crazy citizens in this country and nobody likes to remain confined within the four walls of their house. To have hassle-free travel experience, travel with all the precautions in place.

Do follow SOPs, keep yourself and your family healthy and impregnable during this pandemic situation. Keep updating yourself about the virus every hour and if possible go for a covid test in a nearby clinic as a preventive measure.

So the onus is on your hands. Keep safe and stay alert all the time. A small letup while taking precautions can prove disastrous to your family. Falling prey to coronavirus is a risky affair since the virus is life-threatening. Keeping ourselves safe should be the mantra and we should not forget that life is short and beautiful. We should safeguard it with endurance and persistence.
