Sun's out -time to go out? Maybe, maybe not, depending on the reopening plan in your state. As people start to consider vacations, a road trip seems like a good idea. You can pack much more of your own goods, and avoid a large number of people. However, there are still safety precautions that all travelers should take, even if you're heading out to a nearby mountain for a camping trip.
Even though limits are starting to loosen, case counts are unfortunately rising in many parts of the country. You still need to make sure to bring and use your mask whenever you could be in close proximity (接近) to anyone. Create a bag of sorts that includes the essentials. Medicine, water and other basics could go a long way if you need them in an emergency.
Don't go off the beaten path.
While part of the joy of exploring Mother Nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path. You could get lost, injured or both.
Make sure you get enough sleep.
While many people have reported difficulty sleeping during the pandemic because of anxiety and uncertainty, adequate rest is necessary before a long car ride. Do not drive while you are feeling sleepy.
Protect your skin.
You may not consider sun exposure while sitting in the car, but the rays can seep (渗漏) through open windows and cause you to burn. Therefore, you need to protect your skin with sunscreen and bug killer alike.
A. Wear your mask.
B. Create an item bag.
C. Avoid the desire to hike off the path.
D. Mosquitoes are also drawn when you're outdoors at night.
E. After all, you have more control when you travel by four wheels.
F. As the sun reaches its highest point, you'll start to sweat inside your car.
G. If you feel like you need rest, pull over and take a 30-minute power nap.
