What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central San Diego during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how we travel, but it hasn't curbed our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are some tips on how to tackle the new challenges of travelling:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for screening.
  • Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
