Traveler Tips
ORANJESTAD - During this season, many families go abroad on vacation, and the Department of Public Health gives tips for you to take into account before you travel:
- Inform about different aspects of the country you are going to visit: climate, altitude, hygiene, water quality, diseases in the country, and how to protect yourself from them.
- When eating, wash hands thoroughly first; eat food that is freshly cooked and not that has been standing for a long time.
- Drink bottled water, wash fruit with bottled water, or eat fruits with peel.
- If you suffer from a chronic illness, consult your doctor before you travel, and if you use medication, bring along extra.
- Find out if the country you are going to requires you to take certain vaccines.
- Be aware of insects that transmit disease.
- For your safety and that of your family, do not forget to take out travel insurance.
Prepare well for everything to go well and achieve a time of rest and happiness.
