My wife and I need to make a decision very soon whether we'll travel to Annecy, France at the end of October where I'm registered to do a trail ultra that's been postponed since May 2020. The main reason we are considering not going is the risk that one of us has a positive Covid test when we need to get a test 3 days before returning to the U.S. via air. We have both been fully vaccinated since early April and are comfortable wearing masks indoors whenever necessary and on the plane. I plan to determine this weekend whether I can sleep wearing an N95 mask because I'll need to sleep most of the flight to France.
We've calculated that it would likely cost us an extra $2K if we need to quarantine for 10 days in France before getting the physician letter that would let us travel back to the U.S. I can sell my number and sign up for next year's race which should be held at the end of May.
It's difficult to quantify the chances of one of us having a positive Covid test. Cases are dropping in France, a vaccine pass is required when visiting most indoor public places and will likely be required at the race expo, start line, etc., and 64% of the population is fully vaccinated. However, we will be flying to France in a plane likely containing mostly Americans.
Has anyone come across an article or other information that would help us quantify the chances of testing positive for Covid? Any other thoughts that may be helpful to us as we make our decision would be appreciated. Merci beaucoup!
