Is it safe to take a summer road trip in the COVID-19 era? | Forbes

Planning to have a road trip by car or RV may be a safer way to travel than flying, but a survey conducted by Farmers Insurance found that 74 percent would only be staying within 500 miles from where they live. This sentiment reflects the agitation of travelers still getting infected or spreading the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control, any kind of travel can be risky, and it is best for people over age 65 or with preexisting health conditions to limit their travel. Similarly, those who live with somebody who is more prone to contracting the virus, such as seniors or health care workers, should consider staying home. If travelers still go on a road trip, there are extra precautions and travel restrictions that need to be considered and staying home is still the safest way to protect your family from the spread of coronavirus
