The medical expert will assess the level of risk
According to CNN medical analyst Dr. Liana Wen, transfer rates are a "standard" for assessing the personal risks of travelers.
“We are entering a pandemic phase where people have to make their own decisions based on their health and risk tolerance when it comes to COVID-19 infection,” Wen said in mid-February.
You should comment on level 4 considering it a very common transmission point for Covid-19. “If you go there, you are more likely to get coronavirus,” said Wayne, the emergency room doctor. և Professor of Management, School of Public Health, School of Public Health, Milken Institute, George Washington University.
Some people will decide the risk is too high for them, Wen said. "Others will say, because I've been vaccinated, I'm willing to take that risk."
“So it really has to be a personal choice that people have to weigh, knowing that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is currently grading different levels based on rates of community transmission, basically that,” Wen said. "Individual circumstances are not taken into account."
More travel considerations
According to Wen, there are other factors to consider in addition to transfer rates.
"Remittance rates are standard," Wen said. “The other is the precautions you need to take with you wherever you go and the third is what you want to do after you get there.
“They plan to visit a lot of attractions or go to bars indoors. It is very different from where you plan to spend a whole day at the beach without interacting with anyone outside.” Variety. It is very different. These are very different levels. at risk.”
Wen said vaccination is the most important safety factor for travel because unvaccinated travelers are more likely to get sick and spread COVID-19 to others.
“People who are not immunized are at great risk; they really shouldn’t be traveling at this time.”
"People should wear high-quality masks, N95, KN95 or KF94, when they go indoors where there are crowds whose vaccination status is not known," he said.
And he may think about what you would do if you were positive outside your home. Where would you rate how easy it would be to take a homecoming test?
