Hmm…SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 as travel lover 💗 really curious 🤔
“Do you still continue your travel plans now due to the increasing ⬆️ concern of COVID-19❓⁉️ Even now with the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) for Malaysians❓⁉️“
COVID-19 has already reached more than 💯K cases worldwide 🗺 🌍 according to World Health Organization (WHO)‼️ Most of the countries even exercised travel bans & restrictions ❌⛔️

She 👩🏻 has read & personally trust that there are people 👫👭👬 still travelling to enjoying no ❌ queue at airport check-in counters/ imigresen counters & quiet planes ✈️ now
Also some travellers are NOT ❌ willing to forfeit payments made for travel & hotel bookings, leave cancellation & decided to just carry on with their holiday plans 😎
.
Hmm…Personally she 👩🏻 thinks that not to miss some of the flight sales now as the travel period till next year, 2021. By then surely no more COVID-19 by then, yes ✅, be optimistic & positive 😃😁
Just sharing her personal thoughts 💭 towards COVID-19 as travel lover 💗 Do continue reading 📖 till the end to find out “So, how about SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻❓⁉️ Does she travel now❓⁉️”
1. Reliable & latest COVID-19 updates
Keep yourself updated with the reliable COVID-19 daily updates i.e. WHO, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), local health ministries (e.g. Malaysia 🇲🇾 Ministry of Health) etc.

2. Travel destination
If your travel destination📍is already with major travel warnings/ restrictions & having “widespread sustained (ongoing) transmission”, then the answer may be easy ~ CANCEL your travel plan
As at this blog post posted @ 10 March 2020, China 🇨🇳 , South Korea 🇰🇷 , Iran 🇮🇷 & Italy 🇮🇹 are the high ⬆️ risk countries i.e. with Level 3️⃣ Travel Notice Warning ~ Avoid Nonessential Travel from CDC via 🌐 https://www.facebook.com/CDC/posts/10157656517951026
For other countries, you may then decide whether necessary & must travel during this period of time OR to reshedule/ postpone 🗓 the trip
3. Travel modes
Do you travel to your next destination with plane ✈️, bus 🚌, car 🚗, taxi 🚕, rail 🚂, cruise 🚢 etc.❓⁉️
Travel with plane ✈️ currently as high ⬆️ risk mode of travel. If you do need to plan air travel, suggest to stick with those airlines that have more flexible cancellation & flight change policies ☺️ via 🌐 https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/10160548766431509
Not just that travel with cruise 🚢 also not ❌ advisable due to the serious COVID-19 affected cruise cases being reported 🗞📰
4. Travel essentials
Rental pocket wifi 📶 is an useful item 👍🏻 to stay connected during your trips for latest COVID19 updates 😃
Standard travel insurance policies usually do not ❌ cover trip cancellations because people have a “fear of traveling” via 🌐 https://www.facebook.com/abcnews.au/posts/10160843571159988
COVID-19 is now well-known around the globe 🗺🌍 , hence mostly all insurance providers consider COVID-19 as a “forseeable impact on travel” & exclude it from coverage in most of all travel insurance policies, unless you have bought 1️⃣ before Jan 2020
Not to worry, do consider to upgrade your life & medical insurance policies 😉 via 🌐 https://www.facebook.com/AIAMalaysia/posts/3073490869328171

Also to avoid eating raw 🐟🦀🦞🦐🦑🐙 or undercooked food when travelling abroad. Not ❌ to visit any wet markets where animals are slaughtered, dressed/ butchered 🔪
Do try to avoid shake hands 🤝 / welcoming hugs 🤗 / kissing 😙 lips/ cheeks/ hands when meeting people 👫👭👬 during travel journeys
Instead change to another polite greeting style, time to show what we have learnt from the diversity culture across the globe 🗺🌍via 🌐 https://www.facebook.com/WHO/posts/2979238552121508
Let’s wave 👋🏻, nod & a bow OR a Namaste 🙏🏻 greeting via 🌐 https://www.facebook.com/11450527254/posts/10156388599217255/
