Question: can I travel with a mask put up on mouth,from vizag to XXXXXXX I need to travel on urgent basis. with precautions?
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can travel, but do not use public transport, go in own vehicle
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If the travel is unavoidable, you can take your personal vehicle/car.
Do not go in a bus or train. No matter how many masks you wear over your nose and mouth, you can not prevent yourself from getting infected.
The masks work only to reduce spread of infection from already infected persons.
Take a cab or go in your own car if you have, that should be absolutely fine.
Hope that answers your query.
Best wishes.
