COVID-19 TRAVEL TIPS
If you’re like many others and have been mostly staying put since March 2020, you may be itching to get out of your house to explore somewhere new or to visit family in a different state/country. If you’re thinking about traveling by plane, we encourage you to do so in the safest way possible!
- Get Tested: Many locations require a negative PCR test result within about 72 hours of your arrival. Make sure to check for specific local guidelines. If you need a PCR test for traveling, please scroll down to request a Covid-19 test in Tampa.
- Mask Up: Wear a tight-fitting mask, such as an N95, and something to cover your eyes like glasses or a face shield. We recommend filling up on water and food before you head to the airport so you can avoid having to take off your mask the whole time you are traveling.
- Social Distance: Try to stay spread out from others as much as possible in the airport terminal, this may be more difficult when you are actually seated on the plane, but just do the best you can.
- Stay Clean: Keep an easily accessible bottle of hand sanitizer with you to use when you touch any heavily trafficked areas such as door handles, luggage bins, and escalator banisters. Try to avoid touching your face the whole time you are traveling.
