What are some of the general tips for travellers to Queensland Outback during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't curbed our desire to explore. Here are a few tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
  • To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
  • To minimize handling during screening, place personal items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • If you want to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
