2. Include Quarantine Time In Your Travel Plan Embassies have denied most people visas to the UK recently because they did not include the mandatory 10-14 days self-isolation time required for travellers. So even if you are staying abroad for only a week, including the days for being quarantined when applying for a visa. The same goes for those taking leave from work for vacation. Even if you are going from Edo to Ekiti, include 14 days’ quarantine time, just in case you get sick or suffer from fatigue after your trip. Plan for the worst-case scenario. If you aren’t sick, you could use the extra time to rest, catch up with loved ones or resume work at a leisurely pace. 3. Have Travel & Health Insurance We cannot overemphasize the importance of having health and travel insurance coverage. Travel insurance sometimes covers both loss/damage of luggage and health-related issues. So if you get sick during your trip or run into any financial crisis, your insurance can cover you or reduce your financial expenditure. Though your health insurance in Nigeria may not cover your out-of-the-country expenses, it comes in handy if you get sick after you return home. 4. Check Regulations Before You Travel If you are engaging in international or interstate travel this year, check the regulations of your destination before you travel. For instance, in Lagos, they might require you to put on a mask when entering restaurants, indoor game centres or churches. If you are travelling out, confirm the acceptable time between tests or if you need to get tested before departure and upon arrival. Just stay in the know on the up-to-date details of current travel regulations. Travelling is a great way to de-stress if you have mental health challenges. So don’t put off the need to travel. Don’t overthink it, just do it! Featured Image Source: The Motley Fool
