Dr. Uzma Syed, now head of the anti-Covid-19 task force at Good Samaritan Hospital in Long Island, New York, said that the increase in the number of people traveling during the Christmas and New Year holidays is coming. This long time, coupled with the cold winter weather forcing more gatherings to be held indoors is “alarming.” Therefore, Dr. Syed urged travelers on this occasion to quarantine themselves before and after arrival.
