Travelers to any destination in the world can develop traveler`s diarrhea by eating contaminated water or food. It is recommended that all eligible travellers complete a series of COVID-19 vaccines in Canada and any recommended additional doses prior to travel. There is evidence that vaccines are highly effective in preventing serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19. While vaccination provides better protection against serious illness, there may still be a risk of infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Anyone who has not completed a series of vaccines has an increased risk of contracting the virus that causes COVID-19 and a higher risk of serious illness when travelling abroad. Read the State Department`s COVID-19 page before planning international travel. Be sure to purchase travel insurance that covers medical evacuation and hospitalization. You must complete the 14-day self-isolation period if you are returning from a non-released country. Even if your coronavirus test is negative during self-isolation, you will still need to self-isolate until the end of the full 14-day period. Before traveling, the ministry strongly recommends that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers all medical expenses abroad, including medical repatriation/evacuation, repatriation of remains, and legal fees. You should check all exclusions and in particular if your policy covers you for the activities you wish to do.
