What are some of the general tips for travellers to James Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't deterred our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're taking food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
