Its a major thing to take into consideration. Hopefully this is under control before Pride events start to kick off in May. Just make sure to check your event that your going to even up to the day that you will start travel to make sure you are not facing any delays. If you are traveling over seas check into the various travel bans in effect and various countries quarantine procedures.
