As countries around the world import vaccines to vaccinate their people, the question many people are asking is: Is it safe to travel now? The answer is "No".
Vaccinated people are safer when traveling, but it takes time for the body to build up immunity, so it is possible that they can still carry and spread the virus. For those who have not been vaccinated, they are very vulnerable to infection if they travel at this time, especially when new strains of the virus are circulating.
So when can people travel without worrying about Covid-19?
Forbes predicts that the earliest is August. However, experts also emphasize that nothing is certain and the way travelers need to do to make this time become a reality soon is to follow the epidemic prevention rules of the governments of the countries. Among those measures are: wearing masks, disinfecting hands, social distancing, not traveling if not vaccinated...
In addition, experts also point out that vaccines are only truly effective when the world or the country you want to visit achieves "community immunity". This means that most of the population has been vaccinated, infections in the community have decreased, and the risk of infection is extremely low. Currently, no one is sure whether vaccines can prevent the spread of Covid-19 or not.
