What are the precautions to take while travelling amid Covid-19?

India Today  

As the festive season is around the corner, most of you would be travelling to different cities or market places to shop. As children, old aged and sick people have more chances of getting infected, please make sure before planning travel if you live with someone who might be at increased risk for severe illness from Covid-19. Air travel As travelling via air requires you to spend time in security lines and airport terminals, it increases your chances of coming in close contact with other people and frequently touching surfaces. Bus or train travel Travelling via buses or trains involves sitting or standing within 6 feet of others, which might increase your chances of getting infected by Covid-19. Car travel While you stop to buy something, get car refueled, have food, or take bathroom breaks, it can bring you and your travelling companions in close contact with other people.
