3 THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND
And a FREE e-book for your children.
As this 2020 virus is relenting the grasp on
Europe and Asia you are thinking that it is not a bad idea to dream and make
plans - at least – about leaving on holidays as soon as you can. So keep in mind these THREE IMPORTANT THINGS:

General sentiment
As you can see in this article from Forbes, there is today in Europe a sense of normalcy and perspective
that seems to be lacking in the United States. "Despite the challenges, it
won’t be this way forever," says John Lovell, president of leisure travel
and supplier relations and networks at Travel Leaders Group. "Travel and
tourism is a highly resilient industry that has come back again and again from
diseases and natural disasters."
Industry watchers like Lovell predict a quick
bounce back for tourism, despite the current doom-and-gloom headlines. They
point out that travel rebounded quickly after other pandemics and disasters,
including 9/11.
"You have to assess your own risk
tolerance, take reasonable and prudent precautions, and make smart decisions
about your travel," he adds. "Right now, there are amazing travel
deals to destinations all over the world."
Health
At the same time, the official Schengen website you are remembered to consider two important points. These are
completely appealing to common sense, and do not sound like ominous or
discouraging: these are facts.
Your age. The elderly, especially those over
the age of 80, are the ones most endangered for complications of the
coronavirus disease, whereas ages 10 – 39 have shown relatively low fatality
rates (approximately 0.2%). That does not mean that you have a lower chance of
infection if you are younger, only that you have a lower chance of the disease
becoming fatal. You can still become infected and spread the disease around.
Your medical history. People with pre-existing
conditions are also more susceptible to become seriously ill from the
coronavirus than those who were previously healthy. If you suffer from any
respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer,
etc., you should reconsider traveling.
Family
Of course in RHI we understand that you are
concerned about your children during your
“family time”. So we would like to share – as promised – this little
FREE E-BOOK
to talk and explain to your children about this
peculiar and demanding stage in their lives.
The book – aimed primarily at children aged 6-11 years old – is a project of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, a unique collaboration of United Nations agencies, national and international nongovernmental organizations and international agencies providing mental health and psychosocial support in emergency settings.
