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

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a raft of new standards and rules in place. Follow these tips and make your escape to Dunk Island go off without a hitch: Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking official government websites. When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding. To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening. To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of into the bins. Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
