Can you travel during the lockdown | New lockdown rules offer guidance

Hi Everybody!!! Welcome to Travel lovers yet on the Blog as always. I hope you're doing absolutely fantastic. So, on this blog guys, we're going to be talking to me about whether or not you can travel during this lockdown. During what's happening right now in this crisis that we have. What if you are in let's say a state in the US with not locked down or if you find yourself in a country and you want to get back to your home country. What kind of options do you have and how should you be thinking soon.

Guys!!!! So as you can see I am here walking around my house. We have been on lockdown here in Spain for coming up to three weeks now. This means that we are allowed to leave the house only for essential business and the central business is basically grocery shopping or going to the pharmacy. If we need something from there or if we need to go to the hospital or take care of our elderly and to some extent also take the. The dogs for a walkout anything else than that if we go outfit’s kind of breaking against this lockdown we are find anything from 600 euros. Which is about the same amount in dollars up to I think 3000 euros depending on how grave it is.

So, we are staying at home and to be perfectly honest I'm not staying at home because I risk facing a fine. No, my primary concern right now is the health care workers, the first responders, the true heroes during this ongoing crisis because my sister my younger sister Amanda she is a nurse in Stockholm. A very close friend of the family is a nurse here in Spain. And, the kind of stories that they are telling us is tragic horrible things. So, the message that I want to do with this blog really is that if you are planning. If let's say that you're in a state or a country, which has not yet locked down.

I am guessing that you still have cases and if you do it means that you could potentially be infected. And, if you ‘reconsidering to travel it means that you are carrying that potentially with you spreading it and in that case increasing the workload for the first responders for the healthcare workers out there and that’s not something that we should be doing. So, if you have travel plans that are not central you should be staying at home it's as easy as that.

Now if you find yourself having to fly it's a little bit more of a problem. The reason for that is that right now it is extremely hard to predict. How

is going to work so even if your flight who is going to bring you back to your home country has not been canceled yet. Unforeseen circumstances can arise that might force the airline to cancel it that’s everything from changes in laws, changes in you know increases in lockdown.

For example in the country stir-frying from or two. What happened the last few days has been that even though the airline intended to fly the flight and the crew was there the air traffic control units the tower actually closed down because of lack of personnel. And if traffic control closes down well then an airport that's doing commercial flights cannot operate. So, because of this if you are due to fly out even if it's a domestic flight but especially if it's an international flight as well.
Make sure that you that you’re in contact with the company that you keep updating the travel information if you have access to that from your company. And, you can find yourself in very complicated situations right now. So, do be careful but of course, what we’re seeing is that even though the commercial airlines to a large extent especially here in Europe but more and more in the United States as well or starting to cancel flights.

There will still be what we call rescue flight, which is where the government comes in and contracts certain airlines try to get their citizens back home, and these flights to a large extent keep going. So I've had friends that I've seen following Facebook as you do, that has been traveling from the United States back to Sweden. Which seem to work even though they were probably completely alone on their flights. So, these kinds of flights they keep going but I really really want to emphasize this, which are said at the beginning of the blog and I think it is really important to remember that. Right now we have first responders, health care workers, ambulance personnel, nurses, doctors that are going out of their way to try to alleviate this situation to try to help our sick.

Sometimes putting themselves at risk by using substandard protection equipment, working horrible hours to try to keep respirators and things like that going. And, I think that the least that we can do to help them keep working is for us to be staying at home. I can say that because I am in a country where the number of cases has no now superseded. A hundred thousand we have more than ten thousand dead and the pressure on the healthcare system on all of the provinces here in Spain is becoming extreme. And, I know that that’s happening throughout the world is happening in the United States is happening in the United Kingdom definitely happening in Italy.

And, I think that what we can do even if you’re not in a risk group is to at least stay away from traveling and potentially making the situation worse so. That’s what I wanted to say please listen to the local authorities to your local governor to your Prime Minister but especially to the health care professionals out there. When they give advice about how you should be doing what you should be doing and what you should not be doing. And if you don’t have to travel, if you do to do something that it's not absolutely essential. Stay at home and let's help our first responders, our nurses our doctors, our ambulance drivers to you know to do their job in this good of away as we possibly can.

Take care of yourself out there guys stay safe and stay healthy, have a nice day
