The corona pandemic is not over yet, but the summer vacation is firmly planned.

But what happens if you get sick while on vacation?

Dusseldorf – The sky is blue, the sea glitters and the temperatures are pleasant – it's the perfect start to the holiday if it weren't for that sore throat and sudden fever.

Unfortunately, the corona virus does not stop at borders and can also catch you on summer vacation.

However, if you fall ill during a trip, you don't have to worry.

Three organizational steps help to keep calm.

Corona can throw a spanner in the works on your well-deserved summer vacation, even if you have the right corona vaccination for the vacation.

Because the virus doesn't care how expensive the hotel is that travelers have chosen or how valuable family time by the sea is for you personally.

If you get symptoms during the summer holidays and take a quick test that is positive, you have to follow a few steps.

The three most important points are:

  • 1. Take out international travel health insurance and Covid travel insurance (before you start your trip).

  • 2. Go into quarantine and find out about quarantine rules in the respective country.

  • 2. Inform the hotel or tour operator.

If you observe these three points, you can start your holiday much more calmly and have less to worry about in an emergency.

Corona on vacation: travel health insurance and Covid travel insurance

Travel health insurance is recommended for everyone who goes on vacation outside of Germany.

After all, anything can happen to you during the holidays.

Not only with Covid do travelers sometimes have to go to the hospital, a broken arm or pneumonia can also unintentionally spoil your vacation.

If you want to be on the safe side, you can take out Covid travel insurance with the tour operator or your own insurance company.

It protects you up to a certain maximum value.

Corona on vacation: quarantine on vacation

It's really not something you wish for on vacation, but if you're positive, you need to quarantine on vacation too.

The quarantine rules are different everywhere, in Germany, for example, only five days are mandatory.

If you stay in a hotel, it is best to retire to your room.

As a family, you should ask the hotel management if it is possible to accommodate the healthy rest of the family in another room.

If you are traveling alone, the hotel can usually provide you with food.

Travelers who are camping alone, for example, are best advised to move to a hotel for better isolation.

There, the supply of food and hygiene products is easier and there are no common washrooms where infected people could infect other holidaymakers.

If you have booked through a tour operator, you can ask them for help and how to proceed.

Since the quarantine rules differ from country to country, travelers must find out what the local regulations are before they travel.
