COVID 19, the present worldwide pandemic has impacted our lives in ways we never imagined. Travelling is clearly no more a choice pertaining to the difficult situation we are facing right now. Rather it is now a need for many who are away from home and stranded in different states of the country. As the transport system is gradually resuming once again, all the states have laid down their safety guidelines and protocols for travellers that they must adhere to upon their arrival or departure.
So, in the very unfortunate event that you are having to travel urgently due to various purposes during the ongoing pandemic situation, we are here to help you with some safety guidelines that you must follow to minimize the risk of you getting infected by any chance. Stick around to get your ultimate travel guide during COVID 19 that will smoothen your emergency travel hassles:
In case you do not have the convenience of any means of private transport such as your own car, experts believe that air travel is the safest option as nearly everything in the airport is being carried out without any human contact.
From the entry to the security check— you pretty much need to do everything by yourself. Passengers are put through a thermal screening and COVID 19 test at the entry. Also, every passenger must download the Aarogya Setu tracking app. Even at the security check passengers need to print their boarding pass and luggage tag. Further, they are handed over a PPE kit consisting of a face mask, a face shield, a gown and a sanitizer through sci-fi at the boarding gate.
Additionally, passengers are once again put through a temperature check and COVID swab test or even an antigen test (wherever applicable) at their destination. Passengers are also required to fill out a health declaration form upon their arrival. So you should probably consider air travel as it seems to be much safer than the other options!
Do’s
Don’ts
If you choose to travel by road then availing private transportation is probably your best bet! Consider travelling by your own vehicle if possible to cut down on the potential risks of you getting contaminated by the virus.
The government has permitted movement of people and road travel only from 5 am to 9 pm daily. Various checkpoints have been set up across the roads connecting the different states and cities. Regular thermal screening and swab tests are being conducted at these checkpoints.
People travelling from one state to another via road have to go through all the checkpoints situated on the way. Also, almost every state has made it mandatory to get prior travel permits or e-passes for inter-state or inter-district travel. The travel permits can be acquired from online portals set up by the state authorities.
Additionally, to maintain social distancing, a maximum of 3 passengers are allowed in case of sedans and a maximum of 4 passengers including the driver has been permitted to travel in case of SUVs. In the case of two-wheelers, travelling with a pillion rider has been prohibited. All passengers must wear a mask while travelling, failing which they may be subjected to penalty depending upon the individual guidelines provided by the respective states.
Although we have no clue when the present pandemic situation will any better even with the rising number of cases every day, people have gradually resumed to go about their daily lives and work. And undoubtedly these safety guidelines are supposed to become a part of the “new normal” very soon.
