Description

Travel refers to the act of moving from one location to another, which can include various forms of transportation. In a medical context, travel may be associated with exposure to different health risks, including infectious diseases that are prevalent in certain regions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'viajes' may be used in both formal and informal contexts, but it is important to maintain a clinical register when interpreting. Common variants include 'turismo' (tourism) or 'desplazamiento' (displacement), but these should be avoided in medical settings to ensure clarity.

Example Sentences

EN: Travel can increase the risk of exposure to infectious diseases.

ES: Los viajes pueden aumentar el riesgo de exposición a enfermedades infecciosas.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'viajes' with 'turismo'; misinterpreting the context as leisure rather than health-related; mixing up travel-related health risks with general health advice.
