What are some of the general tips for travellers to Lake Lucerne during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't curbed our desire to explore. Here are some tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:
  • Understand the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check in advance.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • If you're planning to take food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
