CoVID-19 still continues to affect the international travel system. Some countries are still changing their restrictions and entry requirements for foreign travelers, significantly when the cases are rising. That is why if you are either planning to travel or return from your home country, it is best that you know the CoVID-19 health considerations for travel before your departure.

To give you a few information, here are the things that you should know before travelling.

Read the FCDO foreign travel guidance

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) provides the most up-to-date official travel advice, including whether you should avoid traveling to a nation and the COVID-19 entrance requirements for each country.

The FCDO nation page will assist you in determining whether you need to undertake any of the following:

  • have pre-departure covid test results that are negative
  • give proof of current or previous COVID -19 infection
  • provide documentation of COVID-19 vaccination status
  • quarantine when you arrive at your destination

Check your Risk of Exposure to the virus at your destination

  • Research the COVID-19 risk in your destination and assess how it may affect you.
  • Please review the information on lowering your risk of COVID-19 exposure when traveling.
  • Keep in mind that if you do not maintain physical distance and hygiene precautions during your vacation, your chance of exposure will grow.
  • Please be aware that local healthcare services may be overburdened, which means you may be unable to receive medical treatment at your location, especially if you are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19.

Consider your Health condition

If you are feeling ill, avoid travelling. Even though your symptoms are unrelated to CoVID-19, your chances of being denied boarding or quarantined rise if your sickness is found during airport entry or exit screening, during your flight, or when crossing borders.
