7 . How to go abroad and minimize your COVID-19 risk?

If you are desperate to go abroad, then what measures should you take?

“Vaccination (接种疫苗) is of great importance.    1    , I would take the view that you’re going to be pretty safe as long as you observe the usual, sensible rules,” says Anthony Costello at University College London.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agrees.    2    . Travelers are advised to stay at least 1.8 meters away from the people they aren’t traveling with, wash their hands often and monitor their health for signs of illness, too.

You should also take “low risk” with a pinch of salt (有所保留).    3    . That means you have to quarantine (隔离).at home or in the place you are staying for 10 days when you arrive in England. Meanwhile, Portugal remains in the CDC’s “avoid all travel” category.

    4     The US mainly looks at the number of new cases in the past 28 days. Decisions for England are based on broader risk assessments from the Joint Biosecurity Centre, including vaccination rates and circulating variants.

“It is hard to tell which method is right, and it isn’t unusual for two countries to look at the same data and come to opposite conclusions,” says Jeffrey Lazarus at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health in Spain, “Germany closed the border to the UK in the same week when Spain opened it.    5    .”

A．They clearly don’t have the same assessment

B．If you, re double vaccinated and you’re going to a low-risk area

C．These kinds of contradictions happen because countries apply different criteria

D．You may likely find you are engaging in both lower- and higher-risk behaviors

E．For instance, Portugal was on England’s green list. but soon it was moved to the brown list

F．So the reality is that we won’t face any risk of getting COVID-19

G．It advises travelers to low-risk countries to get fully vaccinated, wear a mask, and avoid crowds
