With COVID-19 cases on the rise, how can families prepare for travel?

NEWSCENTER 5 at 5:30. N: The school holiday week here means a lot of traveling with the family, something we haven’t done much in the last couple of years. Here to answer your questions d. Ali Raja, CEO, CE of EMERNCGEY MEDINECI at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Please, thank you for always being here. Thanks for your time.ERIKA: You took part in a much-deserved family vacation the following week. Hi, SU TOO. What do you think about when it comes to traveling again especially with family? We had to put it on. The same basic rules we followed after traveling over the past year or so still apply. KEMA Make sure you are vaccinated and boosted if at all possible, especially your children now if they can be vaccinated. It’s also a great time to travel and take a walk outside. If you are thinking about the vacations you should take, going anywhere UYO can spend time outside is really important. INORDOS, I actually got an interruption by CountY DAAT on the CDC website ABOUCOT VID RISKS. Think about where you’re going, on a road trip, and think about the different places you’ll stop. OKLO UP THE RKIS of COVID in those counties and make specific decisions about whether or not you should wear a mask. The CDC website has it all. Ben: Traveling is GBI for this weekend for many reasons. Many families will gather for Passover and over. At the same time, we know that cases are increasing here in Massachusetts. What do you have to consider for people when they get together? I’ve indicated indoors, is it time in a crowd to put on a mask? >> FI YOU’RE FULLY POINTED, CELEBRATING INSIDE WITH A SAFE SMALL COLLECTION. If you want to or someone is at risk for having an extra covering, you should wear a mask. I’ve talked to some friends who are GNGOI to offer virtual religious services this year and that’s fine too. If you’re going to be at a large gathering of some kind, I would still recommend wearing a mask, just due to the fact that you don’t know who has not been vaccinated or who has the infection. If it’s a big group, I still wear a mask. Erica: The issues are rising. Hospitals, although they are a little bit gone, we haven’t seen the huge spike, was that from your MGH experience? >> is. IAW SA A couple of PELEOP with COVID but were not hospitalized with him. There are 300 hospitalized patients in the state where Esboth was 10th out of 3,000 patients during our last increase. Hospitals still look very good. Ben: We like those numbers. Era: IK, thank you. Get a secure TPRI. I hope this is a magical time.

Dr Ali Raja, head of the cluster, says to anyone heading out on a road trip, think about the different places you’ll stop, check the COVID-19 risks in each area, and then make specific decisions about whether or not you should earlier in the day.

It was due to expire on April 18, but on Wednesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended it by two weeks. The administration had hoped to roll out a more flexible concealment strategy this week to replace national requirements. In a statement on Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it would take time “to assess the impact of rising cases on severe illness, including hospitalizations and deaths, and the capacity of the health care system.”
