In the midst of the Corona virus pandemic, tourist travel is still categorized as non-emergency travel, so it should not be done to prevent the spread and transmission of Covid-19, especially in areas that still lack health facilities.
If you want to travel between cities or between countries, don't forget to obey the Corona virus prevention health protocol, by wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining physical distance between visitors. Don't come when you're sick and go home sick.
