Patient's Query

Hello,

We (me and my team) are planning a world tour for a video project and want your opinion on COVID infection. I heard omicron XE variants are still circulating all over the world. We all are fully vaccinated. Is it advisable to take the tour now or should we postpone it? If we wait for our trip, will a deadlier variant emerge and hamper our plan? What do you suggest, doctor? Omicron is a less harmful variant, so what precautions do we need to take? Can we travel now? Please provide your opinion.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

If you and your team have taken two primary doses of WHO (World Health Organization) approved vaccines and, if possible, the precautionary or booster dose, you can travel.

Also, I suggest you maintain the standard precautions of wearing a mask, social distancing, frequent handwashing, and sanitizing regularly.

I also suggest you take one tablet of vitamin C 500 mg once daily for 15 days or throughout your tour.

If you still develop symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, you need to test and quarantine locally if found positive.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
