Public health officials are alarmed by spiking air travel rates, warning that Spring Break travel is premature at this stage in the vaccination effort. The winter COVID-19 surge was driven by holiday travel, and doctors worry that fair weather and vaccine progress could convince vacationers the pandemic is over just as variants loom, CNBC reports.
Air travel rates have reached their highest levels in a year, with one million TSA screenings per day since Thursday. That’s not as high as it was before the pandemic, but it is enough to concern health officials.
DAVIS, California One university in California is so set on encouraging students to stay in town for spring break amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they re willing to pay them.
As part of a city-campus partnership, UC Davis students could get a $75 Spring Break Grant if they agree to stay in town and not travel during the time period.
Spring break is March 22 - 25. We re trying to give the students a positive experience during this period of time by offering these incentives, UC Davis Melissa Blouin told KXTV.
If a student is interested in getting the money, here s what needs to happen.

In yet another great example of government efficiency, Miami Beach is prepping for a Spring Break Covid crackdown. Don t check your calendar. Yes, it s 2021.
It s ironic, since last year - you know, before we even had vaccines and understood fully just how deadly (or not deadly) Covid was - Miami Beach was the go-to place to skirt restrictions and party as though nothing was going on. But now
this year - as we are literally weeks away from herd immunity in the country - Miami is prepping to lay down the law.
The only thing that ll keep Miami open, to some degree, is a statewide executive order that makes it impossible to shut down bars and clubs. Instead, they will run at no less than 50% capacity, according to the Wall Street Journal.
