ABOUT BLOODY TIME!
Okay I’ve finally got this video edited of my experience of travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
First off I just want to point out the elephant in the room – I want people to know I took the COVID-19 crisis, very seriously. I travelled with advice that it was okay to go, as when I left Australia the government’s official travel advice was Level 2 – Exercise a high degree of caution.
I took note that in some countries without the threat of COVID-19, including that there’s many countries around the world where, this Level 2 advice is in place normally, and guess what? PEOPLE STILL VISIT THOSE COUNTRIES WITHOUT ISSUE.
But importantly I did my research, sought advice and I felt that it was okay to travel as where I was visiting in Singapore and Kobe, Japan there was minimal cases and the government and health departments had been on top of the situation.
But it all changed 3 days later when I was sitting in my hotel lobby watching the ABC Australia live stream when it went to “Level 4 – Do Not Travel”.
By the Sunday, when I was leaving Japan, they had implemented that all overseas arrivals must do 14 days in quarantine. Of course it was a very scary time for all, and clearly not ideal.
I share today just what it was like to travel during this pandemic, and I’ll do a later vlog on what it was like to be in quarantine for 14 days.
