What are some of the general tips for travellers to Illawarra during the COVID-19 outbreak?

With new rules, restrictions and safety measures to follow, travel looks a lot different these days. These are some helpful things to know before you jet off to Illawarra: Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes. To reduce the potential 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 container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning. Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process. If you're taking food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
