Everyone has been tasked to find new ways to navigate the world we live in during these uncertain times. One thing that’s true is that we’re all doing the best we can with unfortunate circumstances. While much of the chaos of everyday life has come to a grinding halt, some events are unpredictable and may require our participation despite the pandemic.
If you have an upcoming car trip, it’s essential to take all the steps you can to ensure the safety of yourself, loved ones, and anyone whose path you may cross while on the road.
Plan Your Trip
States and counties have different COVID-19 restrictions and mask requirements. You may also encounter additional closures at toll booths, gas stations, and sit-down restaurants. Major hotel chains should be open and operating at a limited capacity. As such, do your research and plan ahead. Make reservations in advance and call to confirm availability before you leave for your trip. It may help “drop pins” on your GPS route to pre-plan stops for fuel, meals, and rest.
Build A Kit
You probably already carry face masks, hand sanitizer, and a pair of gloves, so preparing a kit for your car trip should be straightforward. Complete your pandemic preparedness kit by packing hand sanitizer, extra clean masks, disinfecting wipes, and a supply of snacks.
If you’re traveling over a long distance, you may need to stop for fuel at some point. Gas station pumps are high-touch areas, so it’s a good idea to pay with a card to avoid unnecessary face-to-face contact and wipe down the pump before and after you touch it. By packing additional snacks, you can also skip the trip inside the store and keep exposure at bay.
Travel with Caution
Pandemic or not, you still need to get where you need to go. While traveling during a pandemic, it’s important to make adjustments to limit your risk of contracting the virus and spreading it to others. If you have an occasion or trip you’re traveling for, it’s a good idea to quarantine before and after you arrive at your destination.
