In most of countries there is a travel ban strictly followed. Most of the countries have prevented people from getting inside their country from other countries and at the same time they also don't encourage people to travel to other countries from their countries. I guess this is going to be the case for a few more months from now. There are some countries allowing people to travel only in a strict emergency need. It also requires special permissions from higher authorities and a justification to prove that the travel is absolutely necessary.
We have to understand the need for this absolute travel ban. In my opinion, I feel that this is absolutely necessary because most of the spreading happened only when people traveled from one place to another. There was no big awareness of using face masks and other precautions during the early days of COVID. One good reason was that people were not aware of how dangerous it was. Only when it started spreading everywhere the seriousness was realized and recommendations about personal safety were spread as awareness among the people.
IT companies imposing a travel ban
Most of the IT companies have introduced travel bans preventing people from traveling to any place even if it is within the same country. I have seen this travel ban in my company and have also heard it from my friends that they also have a similar travel ban in their companies as well. I feel that this travel ban should be there at least for another 6 to 8 months for the safety of people. Like I mentioned in the previous paragraphs, people who travel are the ones who are most likely to get this virus for themselves and spread this to others.
Travel bans can help in reducing the spreading. For some business requirements, it can be highly challenging to work virutually without a face to face meeting. But considering the safety of the employees, it is very important to make sure this ban is followed effectively. Though there are methods to check and monitor people who are traveling from one country to another country, we cannot say that it can be efficient and it can protect someone from becoming a victim.
Avoiding travels
I see most of the people saying that they are fed up with the lockdown situation right now and the first thing they would do after the lockdown is to travel somewhere and enjoy the beauty of that place. I agree that it is obvious for someone to think like that. I also feel the same and I might as well travel to someplace after all this settles down. But even in that case, it would be wise to take a decision to not travel to places that has a high number of victims. A holiday vacation spot can be a safe place but the traveling medium matters a lot.
If we travel through train or other public transportation, there is a high possibility that we might become a victim. The reason is that we may not know if someone is carrying the virus with them or not. Even if you are traveling to places nearby or to places inside your city itself after the lockdown is over, taking own transportation is preferable. The chances of getting the infection can be lesser if we go for our own transportation instead of public transportation.

Yes that is where most of the spreading happens. 🙂
In Hungary they are going to ease up on the lockdown rules in the upcoming days, I expect people to go in the nature and visit some national parks outside of their city. Yet I think that is still quite okay, international travel is another thing. I think flight traffic should be kept restraint for as long as the virus does not calm down worldwide.
In our place for train travels, they are restricting to only 8 members per compartment. I guess that can work a little bit. More than these lockdown rules, people should also be a little sensible. But lets see.
Yes travelling should be completely banned but what about those small owners who are asking their staff to come to office every single day. I now someone who just stays nearby, he has to start going to a Granite Shop after 3rd May citing a big loss. Now the problem is people cannot keep their shop shut for long and thus they need the staff and for staff if they don't have thier private vehicle they have to choose public one.
Yes that's quite true. By father works in a small company and he has been asked to go to office from this Monday onward. But the good thing is that his office is nearby and he uses own transportation. Even for others if they are going to use their own transportation to travel, that can be one good move to be safe while traveling.
The problem is not only in travel, the problem is also people will be working closely without following any social distancing. Along with that the problem in India is spitting, which should be fined too whenever a person spits in public. I can see in Bangalore people are travelling in Bike with two people, in car with 5 people but should be discouraged at any cost.
Yes the rules should be strict and bribes shouldn't let the rules relax.
My boss message all the staff on 4th of may and order to be on office next day many of my colleges have to travel around 20 km and some are more far from the office, every day they have to face the police after the office they were very scared many times they have to pay a fine upto 1k and in worst case the vehicle is carried away by the police
That's pretty sad. But anyways if they are going to be traveling safe, I guess that should be okay because anyways after the lock down we are all going to be doing the same thing. Hope we don't forget our routine. I already feel lazy about going to office to be honest.
Ya it is but we have our problems so we all have to go.
ha haa same here I don't even want to go but I have to 😋

To be frank, I personally want to be affected by covid19 and recover from it so that I will develop an immunity against this virus. This virus will stay among us hereafter, forever.
People like me want to return to our homes for various reasons. It's going to be over one month since my wife got an abortion, we have not visited the doctor yet. As I said earlier, there is no good hospital near me. People living here choose to go to self-proclaimed doctors, who have no qualifications at all.
I also thought about that. I was thinking if this could be something like chicken pox and once if it comes it wouldn't hit the same person again. But I'm not sure.
By the way you didn't tell me anything about your wife when we were on call. Hope your wife is doing okay now. Yes in these extreme cases, I guess it would be best to go to hometown and visit a good hospital. Please keep trying to get the transportation bro and take care.
