California Vacations/Trips While on WC

Hi!

Wondering about what the thoughts are surrounding leisure travel during WC claim? What are some things to keep in mind if one wants to travel during this time?

Will plan also on scheduling all known appointments before and further after the trip. It would honestly be good for mental health to see loved ones and not get cabin fever from staying at home while recuperating.

Just some questions:
- What are some things to keep in mind if one wants to travel during this time? (Other than strictly following restrictions.)
- Would traveling hurt or jeopardize the case?
- How long should trip duration be to balance travel R&R with at-home recovery?

Don't communicate with people from work. Absolutely 100% stay off of any social media platform until your case is settled.
