Other Tech Tools to Consider When Traveling During the Pandemic

There are numerous apps, websites and digital tools available to make travelling during the pandemic easier. It’s smart to check government agency websites that might be helpful such as the CDC and Travel.State.Gov to make sure that you are aware of any current advisories and recommendations related to the coronavirus. It’s also a good idea to check out the map compiled by The International Air Transport Association that displays coronavirus travel restrictions and entry requirements in an easy to read format. 

Even without the backdrop of the pandemic, it’s also important to consider a travel insurance app so that you always have your policy information in hand. There are also apps that can store your insurance information and other policies that you might need to have handy to help act as a financial safety net while traveling.
