In this episode I take a break from my travel stories and discuss the issues associated with travelling during the covid-19 pandemic. I discuss the requirements for entering most countries when travelling internationally - proof of vaccination and a recent negative covid test. I give my views on the controversial vaccination as a scientist and compare it with other global pandemics in history. I also give my travel tips on staying safe while travelling during covid as well as some of the pitfalls to be prepared for, such as sudden lockdowns and border closures and forced quarantines if exposed.  With careful planning, practicing safe measures and becoming vaccinated, it is possible to enjoy travel again as we enter this new era of global travel.  Photo: Covid-19 - Fusion Medical Animation on Unsplash --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/justine-murray0/message
