Everyone wishes for a break from the relentless winter weather and the work-from-home and virtual education that has burdened the world for the past 12 months.

Twelve months is already a very long time for many of us, and any form of mental or physical health activity should be considered by both parents and kids alike. But the question we all got in mind is, what kind of spring break travel could we enjoy this year?

Tips for your 2021 spring break escapade

Of course, before you travel for spring break, there are safety precautions and tips you might want to consider. Check our tips below for your reference;

  • Check for vaccines and medications recommended for your travel destination. Also, consider arranging a consultation before leaving, roughly a month before your journey, with a medical specialist to know if you and your family are good to go.
  • Get a flu shot at least two weeks ahead of your travel date and avoid people and places where you feel viruses are easily transmitted. Also, don't forget to wash your hands regularly with soap and water.

We know that the pandemic is already bombarding everyone. But you don't have to worry as much as we've put together pro travel tips. With medical experts' help, we have found healthy choices and family-friendly suggestions so that children and parents can get that much-needed spring break.

Let us focus on the dos and don'ts for when you travel;

  • don't travel to crowded places like parties or festivals; avoid crowds as much as possible
  • avoid restaurants with overcrowded or unsanitary setups
  • use private vehicles when traveling; avoid buses, trains, and airplanes if possible

Of course, you might want to keep the following do's on your travel:

  • stick to your road itinerary
  • bring food
  • book private rooms
  • keep your spring break with your family alone
  • visit places wherein social distancing is practiced
  • follow all appropriate COVID-19 protocols
  • before traveling, get vaccinated if possible
  • when traveling, drink responsibly and remain mindful that temperature change can affect your tolerance

A good rule of thumb is to always keep an eye on the weather. Unexpected storms can pose a serious threat to those not familiar with their surroundings.

And lastly, as a reminder, if you're not feeling well after your return, call your doctor immediately and inform them of the places you travel to and the people who go along with you. You will never know you may have picked some viruses along your travel. So it is better to seek a medical specialist right away.
