MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Despite warnings from public health experts to stay at home this holiday season due to the pandemic, millions of Americans are still traveling to see loved ones.
Many people at airports said they’ll still follow precautions, like social distancing, while they journey.
“Now I was able to travel and I’ve done six tests before I came because I want to make sure that he’s safe,” said holiday traveler Elsa Sosa.
Sosa traveled on a nearly empty plane on Christmas Eve to make it to Memphis, all to see her grandson.
