What are some of the general tips for travellers to Tropical North Queensland during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed how we travel, but it hasn't stopped our zest for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to tackle travel's new challenges:
  • Before you book a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government travel advisories.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, keys and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
