Now that more countries don’t require negative tests for entry, should you go ahead with your travel plans even if you have COVID-19? This is an ethical question with not so obvious answers, says a bioethicist.

PORTSMOUTH, England: Your flights are booked, your bags are packed, and in your mind you’re already sunning yourself by the beach with a cocktail.

The first thing to note is that other countries may still have COVID-19 restrictions in place, so entry might be restricted altogether, or you may be prevented from travelling with COVID-19 due to testing, vaccination or quarantine rules. You can check the requirements in different countries using this map.

Given this, and the fact that it’s becoming harder to find a COVID test , it may be more pertinent to consider the question in relation to infectious diseases more generally.If you’re planning to travel while knowingly ill, there would seem to be risks both to you and others. For instance, people generally don’t like the idea of being sick far from home, and buy travel insurance in the hope it will ensure they’re cared for should they become unwell while abroad.

The answer is no. But many do not behave ethically, as pre-departure test is not required, still travel depsite unwell and with symptoms, thus spread to others to many.
