Take vacation and road trips with people you are already quar-antining with. • Be prepared to wear a mask while in public. Several states require wearing masks in public while others recommend it. • Make lodging and hotel reservations directly with the hotel and in advance to avoid any possible complications. • Check with The National Governors Association for up-to-date information on each state’s COVID19 related re-strictions. • Check with each state’s transportation department website to identify any closed rest areas. • Understand that some areas with tolls may be mailing a toll bill as some areas have changed to cashless tolls. • Verify if the state you will be traveling to/from re-quires a post travel quarantine. • Book accommodations with flexible change and can-cellation policies. • Look for health and hygiene amenities such as: con-tactless check-in and check-out, increased cleaning standards, an official statement regarding social distancing, a facemask requirement policy and enhanced COVID-19 awareness train-ing for hotel staff. • Travel local. Visit local, less visited places you’ve always meant to visit as a family. • When traveling, check the state’s Department of Health and Human Services to see if there has been a recent rise in COVID-19 cases in the state/area you will be visiting.
• Do your part and maintain social distancing and health safety practices.
