Proof of vaccination

Masks

You’ll need masks at airports and on the plane, so keep some on hand in your carry-on. So you can change them more than once to avoid wearing a wet mask. Although masks are no longer required at resorts for visitors, you can still opt to wear them if you feel uncomfortable or have Covid-like symptoms.

The mask isn’t just practical for COVID-19. See these 5 reasons why wearing a face mask can be important.

hand sanitizer

How are you doing? You disinfect your hands in public places has probably become a reflex. And that’s good! Have a small bottle of sanitizer on you at all times. It is particularly practical especially during the flight for an express wash before eating. Opt for a reduced format that can hang on your travel bag.

Assurances

Have travel insurance in hand to ensure you travel with peace of mind. Before you leave, check the extent of the cover offered to you. Be sure to ask all questions about the clauses relating to protection in the event of Covid. Keep your proof of insurance, with emergency contact numbers, with your important travel documents.

Painkillers

You are never too careful! Bring painkillers (made with acetaminophen or ibuprofen) from your little travel pharmacy. Covid like colds can find you even if you are on vacation. If you have these drugs on hand, you will avoid paying an exorbitant price to obtain them on the site of your hotel complex. Also, know that you can take ibuprofen in case of Covid despite the warning that circulated at the beginning of the pandemic. Learn more about these facts about COVID-19.

Tea bags or herbal tea

Being considerate is great! If you are sick during your stay in an all-inclusive, you will want to treat yourself with products that do you good and comfort you. Do you have a favorite echinacea or special “cold buster” tea? Bring a small box of sachets “just in case”. It’s not what will blow the weight of your suitcase.

Rapid tests

Other drugs

Before you leave, ask yourself the question “What will I need if I am sick?”. Bring a small kit with the essential medicines to treat yourself: an effective cough syrup, a decongestant medicine, etc. It’s better to have everything with you than to have to run once there to find everything. You may not use it (and that would be great!), but that peace of mind is worth it!

Disinfectant wipes

Even on vacation, you should not relax your good habits. And cleaning some common surfaces is certainly one. Bring disinfectant wipes to ensure maximum cleanliness in certain places. If you are traveling with children, consider having a good supply of wet towels to wash their hands quickly.

Honey

Small packets of tissues

Mini packets of tissues are always useful whether you are sick or not. After a day in the sun, the slightest draft of cool (or air-conditioned!) air can make you sneeze. Slip a pack everywhere: in your carry-on, your beach bag, your jacket pocket, etc. The unit price is cheaper when you buy a set.
