My husband and I are leaving to Hong Kong for two weeks tomorrow. Please advise what kind of precautions I need to exercise. I have not been home since 2018 and am very nervous about this trip.

I've travelled all over the world since my transplant. Just go for it.

Maybe wear a mask on the flight and even in the airport.

It's worth taking 2 sets of medicines. One in hand luggage and one in your checked luggage, just in case.

Enjoy HK.

I fly tomorrow to Thailand. I will be staying for 4 months in Southeast Asia. I got all vaccines and bring papers with official signature showing that I have to take medicines. Diarrhea is common problem for tourist there so I bring antibiotics as well as Oral serum. I will travel as solo. If there is anyone travels or lives in Thailand or Vietnam can contact me. İt would be good to share a meal 🙃🙂

I have travelled to India post transplant this year. Follow the usual precautions - Wear mask in public areas as much possible, avoid street food, drink bottled or boiled water. Try not to catch an infection
