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

COVID-19 has transformed the world in countless ways, including how we travel. The following tips will help you understand these new challenges and prepare you for your escape to Outer Hebrides:

Before booking your flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and travel websites.
When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied entry.
You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, place 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 luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
Remove items from your pocket, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during the screening process.
If you're bringing food through the security checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
