I got COVID while traveling, here’s what I wish I knew (and what I needed) to go back home
- Mask mandates are dropping around the world while new variants are spreading.
- Some countries require that foreigners have health insurance that covers COVID.
- Many countries no longer offer recovery letter services so getting one was my biggest hurdle.
Are you boosted and ready to go on that vacation you’ve been putting off for years due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic? While many countries have eased their COVID-19 policies, breakthrough cases do happen.
Mask mandates are dropping around the world while new variants are spreading.

But before you set off on your trip, you need to know what would happen if you test positive overseas.
