What are some of the general tips for travellers to Southeast Illinois during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in big changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a holiday in Southeast Illinois, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
  • You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • 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 need to take it out of your bag for screening.
  • Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
