Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

COVID-19 has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't done away with our zest for exploring. Here are some tips on how to tackle the new challenges of travelling:

Know the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book your flight.
Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray scanning.
Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
