Some of the smaller islands have medical support facilities that can quickly be overcome by an increase in serious cases of COVID-19 while others can absorb temporary upticks in infections. The <a href=\"https:\/\/okinawa-mcc.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>Okinawa Multilingual Contact Center<\/strong><\/a> is a public service providing <strong>tourist information, interpretation services, and emergency support<\/strong>. You can contact them to find out the COVID status of any of the islands you intend to visit (the English phone number within Japan is 0570-077201). Okinawa Monogatari is maintaining consolidated information about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okinawastory.jp\/news\/3360\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">travel-related information specific to each of the islands<\/a> (in Japanese) and is another way you can check current information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184529\/okinawa-safe-travel-7-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184529\/okinawa-safe-travel-7-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184529\/okinawa-safe-travel-7-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184529\/okinawa-safe-travel-7-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184529\/okinawa-safe-travel-7.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The soothing blue ocean surrounding the Okinawa Islands<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID safety is a two-way street, so while we want to feel safe when traveling to a destination, it is also important to <strong>help the local people feel safe about accepting visitors from outside<\/strong> of the area. In the \u201cWith Corona\u201d age of travel, <strong>monitoring your health prior to traveling<\/strong> will be the norm. Keeping a temperature log for each traveler in your group from about 2 weeks prior to departure is recommended. Purchase travel insurance so you have peace of mind if you need to cancel or postpone your trip for health reasons and be prepared for the cost and language barriers of an urgent hospital visit in the rare case it is necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safe Travels While in Okinawa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the tropical climate and fresh sea air might lull you into letting your guard down, don\u2019t become so distracted by the atmosphere of Okinawa that you fail to protect yourself and others from coronavirus. Continue to <strong>wear a mask<\/strong> indoors and in the close presence of others, especially service workers. But take advantage of the warm weather to <strong>eat outdoors<\/strong>, at restaurants that have an outdoor seating area or perhaps enjoying the sunset from a beachside park, using the growing options for take-out at Okinawa\u2019s restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy Okinawa\u2019s wonderful climate by <strong>walking or using bicycles to get around the islands<\/strong>. Bicycle shares and rental shops are plentiful in Okinawa and even electric-assist bicycles are available for those who want or need one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184619\/okinawa-safe-travel-4-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184619\/okinawa-safe-travel-4-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184619\/okinawa-safe-travel-4-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/12184619\/okinawa-safe-travel-4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Trekking and hiking are COVID-safe activities to do on Okinawa.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shops and restaurants that have demonstrated compliance with the <strong>anti-COVID safety measures<\/strong> of the prefecture will prominently display a <strong>\u201cShisa\u201d sticker<\/strong>.

With its warm weather, clear oceans, and lush forests, Okinawa calls to visitors to <strong>enjoy time outdoors<\/strong>, safer place to be in the age of coronavirus. Okinawan tourism has always catered to outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of activities like <strong>scuba, paragliding, trekking, and cycling<\/strong>. For those who enjoy a slower pace of travel, there are also pristine <strong>beaches<\/strong> to relax on, exquisite <strong>cuisine<\/strong> to dig into, and <strong>cultural activities<\/strong> to participate in.
