Since last December when the Delta strain of the coronavirus was identified in India, it has swept rapidly across other several countries including the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria, fuelling fresh anxiety among medical experts and people who initially thought the pandemic was receding with the arrival of vaccines.
Amid the deadly wave, crematoriums ran out of space, and funerals took place in car parks. At a point, India reported over 400,000 new cases and over 3,500 new deaths within a day. The experts state that among other characteristics of the Delta strain, it is more contagious than the other virus strains, it poses a severe risk to unvaccinated people, and it can lead to “hyperlocal” outbreaks.
Unless it’s absolutely necessary, Kesh warns against air travel until the majority of the population is vaccinated, or at the very least, until you’ve received the full dose of the vaccine. Kesh also says the other problem with airports is that you can encounter people from all over the country or the world and those people could be coming from high-risk places and carrying the virus with them.
“When you get on the plane, be sure to wipe down your seat and tray with disinfectant wipes. If you can bring a seat cover, that’s even better. If you go to the bathroom on the plane, be sure to wash your hands and use hand sanitiser when you touch anything that others could touch,” Kesh adds.Eating inside at a restaurant can be risky for a few different reasons. First, being inside and around others puts you at risk of exposure to people carrying the virus.
