Couples are nervous about their weddings and honeymoons as the coronavirus continues to spread.
Key Points
"I keep wondering how this could all snowball and impact everything from the bachelor party to the honeymoon, to the wedding," said Webb, who works in public relations, by phone. "But as far as we can know right now, we're sticking to everything as planned." "I think a cancellation would be considered a choice that the couple is making, so couples may be less likely to get refunds," said Samantha Capone, a New Orleans-based wedding planner with Three Little Words . Capone notes that could change if the situation takes a turn for the worse.
"I'm most worried about older family members our grandmothers, for instance," he continued. "it's already tough enough for them to make the trip and ... we just want them to be safe." But for many young and healthy people, it's a matter of personal risk tolerance. For those who do choose to travel, there are proven ways to mitigate the chances of getting sick. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water is one of them, and is particularly advisable during flights, suggests Isaac Bogoch, a clinician investigator at the Toronto General Hospital Research Institute. Guests can also avoid close physical contact like kissing each other on the cheek.
