When the Coronavirus epidemic first occurred in China in 2019, no one had any idea that it would one day become a pandemic that would kill millions of people. The extremely contagious illness paralysed the entire world for a considerable amount of time.

But now, as a result of a number of nations relaxing their travel restrictions and the travel industry making a comeback, people are finding the bravery to travel once more. In light of the current scenario, motorists are gradually beginning to retake the roads, taking all the essential safety precautions and procedures.

So, in the age of COVID, what exactly does a traveller need to have in their carry-on bag? Let's find out:

Double mask

To start things off: Masks have risen to the top of the priority list in recent times due to the fact that donning one can protect you from contracting the illness (double mask in current environment). When you go on a trip, you should bring along a few spares.

Oximeter

When travelling to a region that is considered to be a high-risk zone, you should always carry a digital pulse oximeter with you. If it's not absolutely required, try to avoid travelling.

Hand sanitizer

If you contact any surface, you should immediately clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that has a concentration of between 60 and 70 percent isopropyl alcohol.

Disposable gloves for the hands

When going on a trip, it is a good idea to wear hand gloves that can be thrown away after use.

Common treatments for the common cold

Have a talk with your primary care physician and ask for a prescription to treat the common cold. Do not leave home without your typical anti-cough and anti-fever medication, such as paracetamol. In addition to that, bring a thermometer.
