What are some of the general tips for travellers to Governador Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about major changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Governador Island, these tips will help you navigate these new travelling challenges:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
