Brief Answer:
Need to avoid unnecessary travel

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

Firstly unnecessary travel should be avoid as you might get exposed to coronavirus during flight itself. Also they may test you for coronavirus at the XXXXXXX airport and quarantine is also a possibility.

Otherwise take regular precautions for coronavirus like regular hand washing, avoid touching face area, use of hand sanitizer, use face mask at all times during travel.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
