"I was initially really tired...and couldn't figure out why," she says. But after going on an ATV tour, Saenz says she had body aches and felt lethargic, and that's when it clicked. "I self-tested, and sure enough I had COVID," she says. Saenz ended up isolating in her room for the rest of the trip and got a Wi-Fi package so she could work and entertain herself."
"I felt awful still and was infectious, so I ended up renting a car and driving myself to my friend's vacant house in [Las] Vegas," she says. "I spent a week there trying to get better." This demonstrates the challenges of travel with a contagious illness.
"Be honest with your travel buddies. Many people don't want to come out and say they have COVID-19, but it's important to tell the people you're traveling with to help lower the odds you'll spread the illness," says William Schaffner, MD.
