A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes. You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection. You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning. Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process. Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin.
