Covid-19 Protocol and Requirements
What We Are Doing
The Health and Safety of Our Travelers is Top Priority
Company of Women Travel is taking a number of actions to protect the health and well-being of our participants and to control the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in accordance with the expert guidance of the CDC and local public health authorities. We make proactive decisions grounded in transparency and science. We continue to closely monitor guidance from local and national health authorities and update procedures and forms as needed to adhere to the most effective health and safety standards.
Trip Destinations Are Fully Reviewed
Destinations will be subject to a review by Company of Women Travel personnel for specific COVID-19 restrictions. Any applicable restrictions that participants should be aware of will be communicated in advance of the trip. Medical facilities with COVID-19 testing will be pre-identified should the need arise to pursue testing during the trip.
Small Group Travel with Low-Risk Lodging
We have chosen low-risk lodging with small capacity and low turnover of residents to protect the health & wellness of our participants. The rooms are disinfected before arrival and safety measures (ex. sanitation, sufficient spacing) will be followed in common areas. Dining practices will be conducted in accordance with local regulations.
Covid-19 Requirements to Travel with Company of Women Travel
Vaccination Requirements
Company of Women Travel requires all travelers to be fully vaccinated at least 3 weeks (21 days) prior to the start of the trip to keep the health, safety and well-being of our travelers at top priority. While on our small group trips, we will be together in close proximity while lodging, dining, participating in trip activities, and more. It is imperative that we keep our travelers safe.
Proof of Vaccination Requirements
Company of Women Travel will require proof of a current COVID-19 vaccination for all travelers on our trips. You must bring your proof of vaccination with you on the trip. Proof includes the original vaccination record document issued by either:
1. Your country’s health authority that administered the vaccination (i.e. U.S. CDC’s Vaccination Record Card or Canadian provincial Ministry of Health certificate), or
2. The traveler’s medical provider that administered the vaccination.
Covid-19 Waiver During Trip Registration
All participants are required to sign a COVID-19 Waiver during the online Trip Registration Form.
Covid-19 Pre-Screen Waiver Prior to Trip Start
All participants are required to complete and sign a thorough online COVID-19 Pre-Screen Waiver 7 days prior to trip start to review current health status, conduct contact tracing to ensure there is no risk of virus exposure and review pre-trip procedures. If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the questions on the pre-screen, you must test negative in order to attend the trip. You will be contacted with instructions and the due date for completing the online Covid-19 Pre-Screen Waiver.
Protective Measures During the Trip
On the trip, travelers must bring a mask(s) to be worn when required in order to abide by CDC guidelines and any guidelines of establishments on the Trip Itinerary.
The key risk factor for COVID-19 is density of people. Most of our trip will be enjoying the outdoors so the risk is low but we ask all participants to adhere to COVID-19 protective measures including, but not limited to:
1. Avoiding crowds and maintaining safe social distancing
2. Avoiding touching eyes, nose & mouth
3. Avoiding handshakes and hugging
