People are told not to travel at all for fear of contracting the virus. But the truth is, you can travel without

inhibitions, provided you take the necessary health precautions. Research shows that the geographical

spread of nCoV has so far been restricted to countries with colder climates. Places with temperatures of

26 degrees and above are deemed safe. Some locations that have higher temperatures are Goa, Nagpur,

Agra, Surat, Mysore, etc.

mouth of a healthy one. So if you see someone visibly coughing, sneezing or is sick you can

journey as much as possible. Especially in bazaars and transports.

Remember, people who are infected by coronavirus may not show symptoms for up to 2 weeks. So you

never know who might be sick.

screens, lift buttons, cups, etc and survive for days. Just waiting to be carried by an unsuspecting

person. Always wear gloves to be extra safe. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before

eating. If there’s none available then use a hand sanitizer.

Always seek medical attention no matter how mild the symptoms. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Also,

be sure to wear a mask yourself so you can’t spread the disease any further.
