FacebookTwitterEmail My partner, her sister and I are planning to drive from Massachusetts to Sacramento to spend the winter (six-eight weeks) with their mother (she s in her 50s). They both get tested for the coronavirus at least once a week by their graduate programs, and we ll be taking all the proper precautions during the five-day drive, but we re still concerned that we re being irresponsible.

Your plan is definitely on brand for 2020 - more people opted for the Great American Road Trip this year when traveling. While air travel has dropped significantly since March, AAA estimated that car trips have only dipped slightly. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging everyone to reconsider winter travel to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus - whether you are going by car, plane, train or bus.
