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

As a result of COVID-19, travelling today comes with some extra challenges. Take a look at these useful tips before boarding your flight to Tresco:

Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as undergoing health assessments.
Wear a face mask even 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 reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place 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.
