Evansville Doctor Warns About Traveling During Covid-19 Outbreak

Before taking that trip.

As we move into the latter part of june-- it's now vacation season-- as area hospitals report seeing more locals getting the coronavirus... while traveling--?theye returning from vacation, and many of them are getting sick at this point, so what wee fearful of is that theye gone out and not properly socially distanced from others and not worn their mask, and then theye bringing back infection to the tri- state?

And after months of being quarantined, people in the tri- state area are ready now more than ever to take a vacation?we actually have been very busy.

As things started shutting down, we had customers ready to travel.

We are seeing new inquiries coming in.

People having more confidence.

Ready to plan some getaways for fall.

A lot of spring break vacations have been re-booked now?

Dr. huhnke says deaconess is now seeing an increase in younger adults contracting the coronavirus.

She reported as many as 40 percent of their new coronavirus cases are coming from young adults?most of our older populations, or persons with comorbidities, are electing to stay home, so theye not traveling, because they know theye at an increased risk.

I think that some of our younger population has been taking some risks and wanting to go on that vacation?

The doctor says she understands people want to get out of the house and travel-- but says it's too soon to relax social distancing guidelines-- even while relaxed on vacation.
