What are some of the general tips for travellers to Upstate New York during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't done away with our zeal for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, position your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
