The COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide epidemic of unimaginable consequences.

Many countries have

imposed limits on population movement such as travel restrictions, to prevent the spread of COVID-19,
and stopping health services from being overloaded, some of which have implemented travel ban in
domestic flights, sea and land transportation. However, with the hope that a successful vaccine or
treatment for COVID-19 will be feasible, these tight restrictions will not be sustained over the long term.
Governments all over the world are now faced with the popular task of lifting travel restriction while
managing numerous health, social and economic issues.

In a broad scale, COVID-19 is killing people. As of February 3, 2021, more than 530,118 cases of
coronavirus are infected in every area in the Philippines and every day it tends to add up. If domestic
airlines, sea and land transport are to resume fully in March, there will be a high probability of a 3 rd wave
coronavirus outbreak, and if it occurs the government would struggle with another huge problem, and it
will definitely be hard for the government to deal with the Covid-19 war. In resuming the travel in
March, a lot of people will be quarantined, and the government will not be able to handle it and there
will be a chance that they will not satisfy all the people who will travel at once.

A new variant of the coronavirus causing the first COVID-19 detected in the United Kingdom was
reported last December 2020 and has evolved to become more transmissible than the virus. 16 new
cases in the Philippines have been identified with the new COVID-19 variant and the main cause of this is
traveling to another region, This kind of situation should be another wake-up call for us to tighten our
protocols, particularly while traveling, if we resume this, there will be a high risk that the latest
coronavirus variant will spread across the Philippine archipelago, and this will be another economic
destruction for the country, like adding fuel to the fire.

After a year-long sprint, the COVID-19 vaccinations are now at hand and it may be a positive chance to
resume travel since it is much better in this way. Once the rest of the global population is vaccinated, all
of us are looking forward to continuing to travel with a purpose. However, as the vaccine roll-out has
been slower than anticipated, it is because of the small availability of vaccines and there is a chance that
the vaccines will be postponed arriving here in the Philippines, thus resuming the travel in March will be
lifted, that's why we need more time to wait patiently, because when the vaccine comes it is totally
worth the wait.

The global epidemic of COVID-19 has taken the world to a standstill, which is why travel bans are being
enforced. Travel bans are also used to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and they do help a lot. There is
very little evidence though, that a travel ban reduces the possibility of cross-border illness in the long
run, which is why they like to resume traveling to March But because of the drawbacks of vaccine
development, rising positive cases, and the new coronavirus variant, it's much easier to remain in your
own locality than anywhere, because we don't know who we're going to bump into. Once these
dilemmas are at bay, we can go back to our usual state, and now we can enjoy traveling without worry,
and at the same time be cautious regarding our health and safety.
