If the situation of coronavirus was safe, I would have traveled somewhere.
Is this sentence make sense?
Because the situation is bad now, it impossible to travel now, so is that tense right?

Yes “would have” is correct!
To make the sentence sound a little bit more natural, I would say “if the situation with the coronavirus was better”
(Also technically ‘was’ should be ‘were’ after ‘if’ but nobody says it so it doesn’t sound natural)

@porpleubangtan thanks. How about “ if the situation with coronavirus was better, I would travel somewhere “ is it right too? What’s the different?
- English (US)
“I would travel somewhere” is in the present tense, meaning that you would travel now or in the near future. You would be traveling or making plans to travel right now.
“I would have traveled somewhere” is past tense, meaning that if the situation with coronavirus was better, you would have already traveled somewhere by now
